below is my experimence about cross compile Glib as mips,
http://lists-archives.org/gtk-devel/13231-some-question-about-cross-compile-glib2-28-2.html

To confugre the package ready for cross compile, I do the same as you
did by setting some parameters in a cache file.
then I will create a native one before the cross taget one.
to get some necessary binarries.

So far I can configure the package as mips, but I am still stuck at
messages as below:

what does "(process:6285): GLib-Genmarshal-WARNING **: unknown type:
VARIANT" mean?
make[3]: Leaving directory `/media/sdb1/software/glib/glib-2.28.2.mips/gobject'
echo "#ifndef __G_MARSHAL_H__" > xgen-gmh \
       && echo "#define __G_MARSHAL_H__" >> xgen-gmh \

       && rm -f xgen-gmh xgen-gmh~ \
       && echo timestamp > stamp-gmarshal.h

If anyone has any idea, please let me know.
