Description Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2021-07-17 22:14:18 UTC
configure.ac describes --enable-glib as "enable ell/glib main loop example" [1], and indeed the only place glib is used is in examples/glib-eventloop.c [2]. The examples are only built if MAINTAINER_MODE is set [3], which it never is for us.

So IUSE=glib literally does nothing except add an additional dependency.
