I find the above side-effect disturbing. For this reason I would like
to propose an additional patch to 'gobject-introspection'. When
'gobject-introspection' consults a .typelib file (due to the patch we
introduced earlier) it will find a reference to a shared library which
includes the absolute path. With the new patch, if the library is not
found at the absolute path, then it discards the path and tries to
look for the library using the OS dynamic library loading
infrastructure (which is the normal behavior of
'gobject-introspection').

With this change 'libpeas' (and all its dependencies) passes all tests.
