I also ran into two issues with building libglade, firstly the patch did not apply to the code and I had to manually enter the path to configure file. Then during make it was attempting to use it's own libtool (version 1.5) but was failing due to incompatible args. Copying the jhbuild libtool (version 2.4) into source directory fixed it though. Is the latter issue a problem with jhbuild?
