Ok, Clive

thank you; but probably my "flat" toolchain is not completely well 
configured (even if it was able to build the kernel and Xfbdev). But, 
anyway, I managed to force scratchbox to use a host installation of glib 
(*), and now I have a pretty nice hello-world app running on my target.

Now let's play with gtk ;-)

(*) for who is interested in this, here is a short description of my 
dirty-trick on scratchbox (maybe there is a clearer way?):

1. switch scratchbox to HOST
2. ./configure, then make and make install of glib
3. switch scratchbox to ARM-LINUX target
4. export PATH=/targets/HOST/usr/local/bin:$PATH (this is for the host
   glib-genmarshal)
5. make a symlink to /targets/HOST/usr/local/lib in current /usr/local
   directory (this is for host glib libraries used by glib-genmarshal)
6. ./configure --host=arm-linux --cache-file=arm_cache.conf
7. make
8. unlink /usr/local/lib
9. turn back $PATH to the original value
10. make install
