you're building against a far too old version of GLib. check your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because it seems the configure script is catching a
version of GLib recent enough to satisfy the dependency check, but the
linker is trying to use the system version of GLib.

you're trying to build a very recent version of a complex library on a
4 years old distribution: issues are to be expected, as well as some
pain in rebuilding the entire stack.

why are you targeting such an old platform?
