GTK2 and 7.6.64

So, I'm trying to backport GTK2 from 7.7 cvs to 7.6.64 (also 7.6.50), and it won't load the image_module in global.pre, INIT{}:

INIT { #ifdef DYNAMIC_MODULE image_color_program = PIKE_MODULE_IMPORT(Image, image_color_program); if(!image_color_program) Pike_error("Could not load Image module.\n");

image_program = PIKE_MODULE_IMPORT(Image, image_program); if(!image_program) Pike_error("Could not load Image module.\n"); #endif }

It apparently works with 7.7, but not 7.6. Did something change with dynamic module loading?

What should I do instead? I noticed in some other modules it used SAFE_APPLY_MASTER() and a bunch of other statements...
