+From 3a0531d84af702e4c8aed7801d9455cc95f3cb4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org>
+Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:58:10 +0000
+Subject: queryloaders: Ensure we link to libgobject
+
+This call is necessary to ensure we actually link against libgobject;
+otherwise it may be stripped if -Wl,--as-needed is in use.
+
+The reason we need to link against libgobject is because it now has
+a global constructor.  If the dynamically loaded modules happen
+to dlclose() libgobject, then reopen it again, we're in for trouble.
+
+See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686822
