I ran into this the other day and after much hunting I found _two_ 
glibconfig.h files in my include path, one was an autoconf style one (#undef 
blah blah) and
the other one was the real one. The corrupted one was installed in the regular
include area (mine was in /usr/include) the real one lives in the lib dir ( 
mine is /usr/lib/glib/include) remove the one in $prefix/include and that 
should correct the problem.
