And debian 4.0 etch has glib version 2.12.4, so obviously
that version does not have these declarations.  This is
the same issue as on RHEL5 which also had 2.12.

No, I mean the other way around -- what other features qemu may
want/need from glib which may be missing in older versions.

A few days ago Paolo posted a patch requiring glib 2.12 (and 2.20
on windows), so this GHashTableIter thing should either go or
the lowest required version should be bumped to 2.16.

Thanks!
