--- Comment #4 from Erik van Pienbroek <erik-fedora at vanpienbroek.nl> ---
This upstream commit looks related to this issue:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=8c42a663f8182f8281c083390aa761e8e9badc63
If this really is the case then this issue should have started to appear as of
glib 2.35.9.

The odd thing about this commit is that apparently the _utf8 wrappers were also
used on Win64 (everything is inside an #ifdef G_OS_WIN32 block). Therefore both
win32 and win64 binaries which were built against an older version of glib may
have still used these symbols (as can be seen with the grep output in the
comment 0).

The most straightforward way to resolve this issue would be to rebuild the
packages in question which are still using the _utf8 wrappers. However,
end-user compiled binaries may also be affected and I'm not sure whether we can
accept this ABI break in glib...
