It looks like you're compiling Vala against a Linux GLib. You'll have to
make sure you have a Windows GLib to link to (you can probably find
binaries and headers on the net somewhere, or you can try to
cross-compile *that* yourself) and then make sure PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set
in a way to make sure that pkg-config (and therefore the configure
script) finds the correct GLib. (you may have to edit some .pc files to
reflect your setup, of course)

Top tip: Cross-compiling is HARD. I recommend you give it up and compile
Vala directly on Windows. But maybe that's just be being angsty.
