   'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not

+* A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
+  intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
+  concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
+  inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language

+  carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
+  to help with the transition.
