I have found the problem:

If you declare a callback method inside a class you have to prefix the
callback method name in Glade with the class name in lower case letters.
So try:

  gtk_builder_sample_on_button1_clicked

instead of

  on_button1_clicked


PS: You don't have to add --Xcc="-Wl,--export-dynamic", since this is
already added by pkg-config for gmodule-2.0 (see
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gmodule-2.0.pc).
