Yes, and I guess you will get a message about mixed gtk2 and gtk3 symbols.

Which is wrong, the test for that in glib seems to be not reentrant and there is a similat test in libsoup about version 2 and 3. That leads to a false positve.

For publish the libsoup at 2.74.3-2023.0.0.1 or newer we need a rebuild of illumos-gate becasue this is used by rtld and this in turn needs an patched libxml2 at 2.12.1.
It is all in the queue but rebuild needs some time.
