I've had a closer look, and the "File not found by glob:" error comes from a different cause to
the *-glue.c errors.

Error message from rpmbuild:
    File not found by glob: 
/home/alland/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/rep-gtk-0.18.4-1.i386/usr/libexec/rep/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gui/gtk-2/gtk.so*

    Actual path found in BUILDROOT:
/home/alland/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/rep-gtk-0.18.4-1.i386/usr/lib/rep/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gui/gtk-2

Relevant line from rep-gtk.spec:
%{_libexecdir}/rep/%{_target_platform}/gui/gtk-2/gtk.so*

So, _libexecdir is getting set to "libexec" rather than "lib", this happens in configuring:
   libdir:       ${exec_prefix}/lib
  libexecdir:   ${exec_prefix}/libexec

and "_target_platform" is not being set, so the default rpmbuild value is being used.
