vala: does not compile

Maintainer: No maintainer listed in Makefile
Environment: x86_64 master
Description:

Building the Vala package fails for me with the following errors. I am building on Fedora 38, and this is a host package, so I wonder if the problem stems from the version of dependencies I have installed on my computer.

Begin with the package Makefile and the host-package link command shown in the report; inspect how the GLib and PCRE2 libraries are supplied. Done means the Vala package builds successfully without the reported undefined references on the host configuration.
