Does it cover everything though? I believe gtype-desc.c only covers a small
portion, the rest is in all the gtype-*.h and gt-*.h headers that are
included in the various object files.
So, either we need to checksum all the object files that include gt-*.h or
gtype-*.h headers in addition to gtype-desc.o, or perhaps checksum
gtype.state ? Though, that state wouldn't cover changes in ABI etc.
