Those flags would probably not satify the build anyway, and there is a
automatic way to get the correct flags so you should not need to
specify them yourself. pkg-config will find the correct flags, but you
have to point it to the correct prefix to find the information.

So since you installed glib in /tmp/external.sw, you should set the following:

 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tmp/external.sw/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

to your environment. This makes pkg-config to look in the right place.
