This is not strictly necessary when linking the shell with DT_RPATH as the runtime paths will be extracted from the introspected libraries and used from gobject introspection to find them when loading them based on the typelib files, but when linking with DT_RUNPATH, as it's the case for some linkers (e.g. ld.gold, or ld.bfd in some distros like Debian). By explicitly prepending this directory as a library path for GIR, we're making sure that the wrapped shared objects installed in Mutter's and GNOME Shell's private directories can be found in all cases. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777519
