It's now possible to use --with-glib-static to force using of static glib.
It wasn't easy to write it, and I'm not sure if it's really portable, but
it works for me.

The problem with man2hlp is actually a bug in the glib installation.
When glib is installed to a directory that is not normally scanned for
libraries, the link flags should include the runtime path to the library.
Since the link flags are provided by glib through glib-config or
pkgconfig, the problem is in glib.
