Control: retitle -2 gi-compile-repository: generates incorrect typelib when cross-compiling with different type sizes

When it converts GIR XML to binary typelib files, g-ir-compiler replaces abstract types such as int and gsize (size_t) with concrete types such as gint32 (int32_t) and guint64 (uint32_t). The way in which it does this depends on the type sizes discovered at configure time when compiling g-ir-compiler.

gi-compile-repository in libglib2.0-dev/experimental has the same issue, cloning the bug for that.

A workaround to enable cross-compiling between word sizes would be to use
the host architecture g-ir-compiler, and run it via qemu-user.

Actually it looks like this is going to be a shorter path to correctness
than the other approaches I described, so I'll probably go with this one.
