Do you intend to compile GLib for Cygwin or for Win32? If for Cygwin,
note that building it for Cygwin hasn't really been tested in 2.2.3,
and presumably was broken. If for Win32, you should use the
-mno-cygwin flag.

There is a bunch of bugs in Bugzilla that concern GLib 2.4.0 on
Cygwin. See bugs #138401, #138402, #138405, #138412, and
#138423. Fixes have been applied in CVS.

One of the fixes for the bug reports mentioned above disables thread
support completely for Cygwin, as threads are said not to work
reliably on Cygwin.

Check what symbols the libglib-2.0.dll.a (import) library contains. Is
it possible that you see bug #138402.
