it looks like you're linking against an old version of glib.  These
undefined references are all to glib functions that were added in
relatively recent versions.  There's probably something that's pulling
in the system glib for some reason.  If you really can't upgrade your
distro, I would really recommend using jhbuild to compile all of the
dependencies instead of doing it all by hand.
