Given that "strcmp()" is not a routine in GLib, either

	1) "exported" doesn't mean what I think it does

or

	2) this looks like a bug in the GLib you have installed.

The code in "-lgmodule" *calls* "strcmp()", but there is no "strcmp()"
routine in "-lgmodule", as it expects the C library to have "strcmp()".

Perhaps you should ask the supplier of the GLib library package:

>   freeware.glib.rte          1.2.8.0  COMMITTED  GLib graphics library

what the problem is.
