Looks like you’re using the bootstrap.modules that ships with jhbuild rather than the one from gtk-osx-build. 
Run gtk-osx-build-setup.sh again, and make sure that you use the jhbuild that it installs. Jhbuild's 
modulessets don’t work on OSX.

There’s https://bugreport.apple.com/problem/viewproblem, but the chance of something like that being fixed is 
infinitesimal. The missing 64-bit symbols in libiconv dates back to 10.7, has been reported to them on 
several occasions, and is still there in 10.9.

That’s a bug in Glade. Take a look at the prefix locations when you run ./configure —help:
  --datarootdir=DIR       read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share]
  --datadir=DIR           read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR]
  --infodir=DIR           info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info]
  --localedir=DIR         locale-dependent data [DATAROOTDIR/locale]

Clearly not true. Please file a bug.
