Can't compile devel/gobject-introspection under 7.2

[bfls]

I'm trying to install deskutils/calibre but it is failing when it
tries to compile gobject-introspection.  I get the errors below and
then it just hangs.

I'm running 7.2-RELEASE-p7 with a GENERIC i386 kernel and I updated my
ports tree yesterday (1 May).  Given the version bump to png I took
the belt-and-braces approach of then doing a pkg_delete -a and
cleaning out my /usr/local/lib directory before adding back in all my
ports one by one.  It all went smoothly until I tried adding calibre.

I've done a google search and found two other people who reported the same
problem (one under 7.2 and the other with 8.0) but no
workaround/fixes.  Has anything else seen this?  There is nothing in
UPDATING.  The must (please) be a solution because this port is used
by pretty much anything gnome-related so it would be widely used.

Any help greatly appreciated.
