You must have missed my message on IRC when I realised the problem. You
need to pass "--disable-update-desktop-database" as well. This also
holds for gschem and gattrib if you haven't already).

The mimeinfo.cache is misleading.. the /usr/share/applications/ location
contains the database of application .desktop files. (The cache probably
lists which mime-types each application can handle).
