If you run

	pkg-config --cflags gobject-2.0

it will print something like

	-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include

This means, using the standard CFLAGS, directory glib-2.0 is already
included in the path and not specified when including the header.

I suggest to use the standard CFLAGS and adjust your source files.  Then,
if your code compiles, gtk-doc-generated code compiles too.  See also
