I can't build this Gtk+ without changing the configure script manually.

During configure i get:

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.3.2... checking for
pkg-config... (cached) /opt/devel_fb/bin/pkg-config
Package --cflags was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `--cflags.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Unknown package '--cflags'
Package --libs was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `--libs.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Unknown package '--libs'
no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...

This seems to come from having the parameters of pkg-config in the wrong
order:
[alex localhost gtk+]$ pkg-config glib-2.0 --libs
Package --libs was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `--libs.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Unknown package '--libs'
[alex localhost gtk+]$ pkg-config --libs glib-2.0
 -L/opt/devel_fb/lib -lglib-1.3  

I chatted with tim on irc about this, and it seemed like he had another
version of pkg-config 0.5.0 which handled this correctly (same version
number but different archive size), but I've been unable to locate this
pkg-config version.
