It's highly suspicious that you're installing GLib in this way (i.e. 
hacking about removing some files, etc. It also looks like with 
configure you're installing to /usr/local as a prefix and so there would 
be concurrent GLib versions installed. I had to use jhbuild to get this 
working properly. I tried multiple and newer GLib versions but it just 
caused problems in one way or another due to the changes that have 
occurred in recent months.

The errors you report below are symptomatic of what I was seeing.
