I am not able to test such change so someone must step in and propose such change. I can only point to a place where such thing might be a good fit - take a look at http://git.eclipse.org/c/equinox/rt.equinox.framework.git/tree/features/org.eclipse.equinox.executable.feature/library/gtk/eclipseGtkInit.c#n103 .
