I have received the same error multiple times as well.  My setup is a
little different (I'm on Red Hat 8.0, but the sysadmin likes to install
all kinds of stuff in /usr/local).  Note that on the other machines that
I've tried garnome on (my home machines and laptop, which I have control
over and for which the sysadmin doesn't put all these stupid packages in
/usr/local), I don't get this problem.  Anyway, below is some ugly hack
that I used to get around this problem.  I'm sure someone else on the
list can probably suggest something better.

GARVERSION=0.22.0  # (the last one I tried...)

# After first build failure ... ??
cd garnome-$GARVERSION
cd gnome/glib/work/main.d/glib-2.2.1/glib
cat Makefile | sed -e "s%^CPPFLAGS =%CPPFLAGS = -isystem /usr/include%"\
  > Makefile.new
mv Makefile Makefile.old
mv Makefile.new Makefile



Hope this helps,
Elijah
