I saw this myself and the probl;em is that there is no file by that name.
glib is instead calling its .la:  glib-1.1.4/libglib.la

Something like that anyway.  Take a look in the glib distrib directory.
Oh,  and once you fix this you'll later get an error that gmodule is an
undefined reference when linking.

You'll have to add to one of the linker variables an entry for:
	glib-1.1.4/gmodule/gmodule.la

again check you glib distro directories to get the right path.  It would
seem that gmodule was recently split internally from the glib library and
that hasn't reached the gtk+ distro yet.
