Which distribution are we going to not support?
Surely RHEL 6 which we should support till 2021 (not considering
extended support).

Can we write some compatibility code?
g_clear_pointer is just a macro, we have a compatible macro in
spice-server.
G_SOURCE_REMOVE and G_SOURCE_CONTINUE are just TRUE/FALSE renamed
in recent GLib.
g_unix_signal_add maybe not too difficult to write a compatible
GSource.
