Description
Hi!
I'm trying to get RHEL4 mc builds rolling. RHEL4 a widely deployed server distro which recently got updated to 4.7, so it is one of the important targets for mc/ssh. Basically the buildlog is here:

Now check this out:
checking for GLIB... Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.6' but version of GLib is 2.4.7
no
The GLib version shipped with RHEL4.7 is in fact glib2-2.4.7-1.i386.rpm , but instead of aborting at glib-2.0 >= 2.6 the ./configure process goes on.
Still, I find it unfair that RHEL4 users would be deprived from newer mc. It would be nice if glib could be build statically instead of just failing on 2.4 and lower...
