An ido build log will be helpful.

I don't think it makes sense to do what you are doing. Even if you
build everything against non-patched Gtk, there are no guarantees it
will work after that.

So I think you should either compile Gtk with Ubuntu patches, or wait
for the official 3.16 packages (for Ubuntu 15.10), which I plan to
upload soon.
