Description: The glib PKGBUILD for x86_64 has configuration error that causes errors for other packages that require Typelib.

* package version(s)
1.2.10-8

* config and/or log files etc.
glib-1.2.10-8 PKGBUILD
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu || return 1

* Steps to reproduce:
This causes the following error when compiling gobject-introspection-0.6.5-1.

failed to load typelib: Typelib file for namespace 'utility', version '1.0' not found
make[3]: *** [drawable-1.0.tgir] Error 1
*************************************************************************************

I was able to resolve the error by recompiling the glib package with the following configure options.
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
--host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu || return 1

If the only the --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu is changed to --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, the compile fails with:

loading cache ./config.cache within ltconfig
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
****************************************************************

By adding as well --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, the glib package compiles and fixes compiling of the gobject-introspection-0.6.5-1 on x86_64.
Please update PKGBUILD to test for x86_64 and use the correct switches on configure and recompile the binary in the repository.

if [ "${CARCH}" = "x86_64" ]; then
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
--host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu || return 1
else
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu || return 1
