If I remember correctly, since GLib 2.30 libffi is also a dependency.

There is an up-to-date GLib package on the OpenSUSE Build Service,
cross-compiled for win32 and win64:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=mingw32-glib2&project=windows%3Amingw%3Awin32

Download it directly from:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_12.1/noarch/
or using the utility script:
https://github.com/mkbosmans/download-mingw-rpm
