0.10.6 doesn't build on Solaris 2.5.1 with the Sun C compiler against
Glib 2.4.x (and probably any 2.x version). Because the Sun C compiler
does not have ISO or GNU varargs nor does it have <inttypes.h>,
#include <glib.h> brings in <glib/gmessages.h> which has:
  ...
  #else   /* no varargs macros */
  static void
  g_error (const gchar *format,
           ...)
  {
    va_list args;
    va_start (args, format);
    g_logv (G_LOG_DOMAIN, G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, format, args);
    va_end (args);
  }
  ...

So, when AC_ETHEREAL_CHECK_64BIT_FORMAT is run, it will fail because
we #include <glib.h> but don't -lglib. Patch below to include only
<glibconfig.h> which has the definition for guint64. Kinda hacky if
you ask me but I cannot think of a way to fix glib.
