(These are just auxiliary libraries that are linked in the glib DLL.)

Hopefully these are just import libraries, and you got DLLs, too?

BTW, did you build the external libraries GLib depends on,
gettext-runtime (usually with an import library called "intl.lib") and
libiconv ("iconv.lib"), too, or did you find them somewhere prebuilt
for Win64?

These are static libraries. When building GLib for Win32 with gcc no
static libraries are produced, but the MSVC makefiles build such, too,
for some reason.

Good!

The tests don't necessarily test everything, but this does indeed
sound promising. Are you then going to proceed to build atk, Pango and
GTK+?
