I built gtk+3.0 in a mips and an ia64 porterboxes and reproduced the failures
(note they are different failures, the one above is for ia64). I had a look at
the source and couldn't find anything obviously wrong. Those tests pass on every
other architecture. Note that the tests run under Xvfb (see the Makefile). I
could reproduce the tests by running make check or by running xvfb-run
./children (or the mips failing test). I wanted to make sure this wasn't a
problem with xvfb by running this with a real display, but apparently X
forwarding is disabled on the buildds.

Help here is appreciated. I would suggest to first try these tests in a real
display to rule out Xvfb issues.

Thanks,
Emilio
