g-ir-scanner will generate a small executable linked to your library to
get info from the objects you have (for all _get_type() routine you
have). So it needs to be able to link to something. In your case
libgtk-display.so, because you ask it like that :

> $ g-ir-scanner gtk-display.[ch] --library=gtk-display `pkg-config
It is the --library option of g-ir-scanner.

Then the linking fails:
> g-ir-scanner: link: libtool --mode=link --tag=CC gcc -o

> /home/rena/dev/pc/src/gtk-display/tmp-introspectNvmnq2/GtkDisplay-0.1.o
> -L. -lgtk-display -Wl,--export-dynamic -pthread -lgio-2.0
See here the « -L. -lgtk-display ».

So, your Makefile should be done to create this libgtk-display.so file
for it to work.

If you have already a libgtk-display.so, sorry, it's not the reason :(
