I'm not that experienced in AIX but it looks to me like you have
either one of these issues:

1. You're using the wrong version of a library that glib depends on.

2. You're trying to use gettext from AIX (what does 'which gettext'
   give you ?) together with GNU libiconv or vice versa. Make sure you
   have libiconv from GNU (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/) and
   GNU gettext (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/) and that they
   are found on the paths (linker and executable) before any AIX stuff.

Sorry I can't be of more help... Try some AIX-Gnome or AIX-Mozilla
lists maybe ?
