The nonexistence of this file is not a bug in glib. Packages that need
to compile against libgobject-2.0 should use pkg-config and/or libtool,
both of which cope gracefully with missing .la files. Distributions
should not ship .la files, at least not for libraries in /usr: they are
actively harmful.
