[bug#50521,core-updates-frozen] gnu: gtk+-2: Fix ‘builder’ test

The signal callbacks in the ‘builder’ testcase have wrong prototypes.
This causes it to fail the “/Builder/Signal Autoconnect” test on
powerpc64le-linux.

Solve the problem by backporting the upstream fix that was applied to
GTK+ 3.0.

* gnu/packages/patches/gtk2-fix-builder-test.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/gtk.scm (gtk+-2): Use it.

Hello,

This fixes the build of gtk+-2 on powerpc64le-linux.

Thanks,
Thiago

This patch rebuilds over 2900 packages, so maybe it could be pushed at
the same time as #50174 (static gawk), #50239 (diffutils) and #50358
(rust booststrap).
WDYT?

Hello Guillaume,

Wow, that is true. I should have checked that, but it hadn’t occured to me 
that this end-of-life toolkit could have so many dependents. Thanks for 
noticing.
