did you have a glib-2.0 in /usr/local? looks like you did not completely remove one that was there. when configure was doing it's checks, it called pkg-config it probably found the old one (.pc) so it set the ldflags for that lib accordingly.
To override the library linker:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
should force the linker to look in /usr/lib/ before it will look in /usr/local/lib
No trace of glib-2.0 in /usr/local/lib, and no glib-2.0.pc in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. Bizarre. I made a quick-and-dirty fix by creating symbolic links to all glib-2.0 files and the /usr/lib/glib-2.0 directory in /usr/local. GTK is compiling now, still long from finished though. Time to make a sandwich and let it run. I'll post back if there's any problem.
