As outlined in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103708 your
problem to compile gdk-pixbuf is a version incompatibility with your
binutils and you can hardly blame the GTK+ developers for this.

There will always be someone who has problems but in general the vast
majority of people that attempt to build GTK+ from source don't run
into any problems. Compiling GTK+ might not be trivial because of its
dependencies but it is pretty much straight-forward and could hardly
be made easier.
