Well, sure.  OK.

I am doing all of this in the same console:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/private/libs
compile glib
compile atk
compile pango
compile gtk+   <---- Here I run into a problem.

Now, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is in effect for all of these (unless I'm using it 
wrong, or am doing something stupid -- I'd like to think not, but one, 
nearly by definition, can't tell).  I'm not even trying to run any 
executables (except perhaps the build processes themselves).  I'm merely 
trying to compile GTK+.
