xfdesktop crashin with glibc error

[Kim Klinkhamer]

OK,

Didn't have debug turned on.

Tried to run the 4.4rc2 installer, this time with optimisations off and
debug on but it fails with

DPIC -o .libs/libxfcegui4_la-netk-workspace.o

An strace is most likely useless.  See [1] for gdb instructions.  (Also
if anything about the instructions are unclear to you, please let me
know, as I'd like to make the document as user-friendly as possible).
