Meanwhile a substantial debate on this issue has been started upstream:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728123
As it appears, the problem not only occurs for PowerPC processors, but
also for ARMs. Moreover, it is being speculated that the problem
(mach_timebase_info_data_t should be capable to also carry non-1/1
numerator/denominator ratios, such as 1000000000/33329426) might affect
future Intel Macs.
https://bug728123.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=274897
proposes a reasonable patch for glib/gmain.c, but still the glib2
developer seem to hesitate to adopt it.
