Hi,

It can be fixed by just change 
gitypelib.c:  CHECK_SIZE (ArrayTypeBlob, 8);
to
gitypelib.c:  CHECK_SIZE (ArrayTypeBlob, 12);

But problem not in gobject-introspection, but in old ARM ABI.
I was ask andrew@, and he test it with ARM EABI, and it compiled fine
with size 8.

So if somebody will fix it, please #ifdef that fix to make it only with
old ARM ABI.

Or, better help with EABI testing :-D

Thanks!

WBW
