This version of gobject-introspection causes a regression in glib that we'll need to patch for. The issue is evident when running the test suite, where "glib:girepository+no-valgrind+compiler / gi-compile-repository.py" fails.

I found the following lines in the log:

not ok 4 __main__.TestGICompileRepositoryForGObject.test_compile
# gir path set to [PosixPath('/sources/glib-2.84.0/glib-2.84.0/build-glib/girepository/

The tests look a lot better with the patch:

Ok:                 391 
Expected Fail:      0   
Fail:               0   
Unexpected Pass:    0   
Skipped:            5   
Timeout:            0  

From the MR: "For the moment, this information isn’t needed in libgirepository — but the GIR parser does have to know about the element in order to not throw an error claiming it’s invalid."
