The more disturbing thing, if I read the output correctly is that it happens
while compiling gio-sharp.dll which definitely shouldn't be in f-spot. I
haven't had time to take a stab at the offending code but it feels like it
is including gnome-desktop-sharp stuff. In that case the correct fix would
be making it use the system libraries.
