Sorry for being a bit slow, but I believe you've run into a compiler bug
in MIPSpro cc... It doesn't clear structs correctly according to the C
specification when there are insufficient initializers for a struct. I
ran into this bug with MIPSpro 7.2.1.3m and it works with
7.3.1.something (don't remember exactly and I don't have access to that
machine now).
Apply this patch to your glib:
