The difference between my setup and your setup is probably that I do
actually have /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so in my filesystem, since the
libglib2.0-dev package is installed on my distribution. In your case,
this package is probably not installed, and therefore, libtool doesn't
think that the correct libgobject library is in /usr/lib.

I've actually tried this hypothesis on another package (webkit that was
failing in a similar way on libenchant), and remove the development
files in /usr/lib, and the link succeeded.

It seems to be hard to convince libtool that /usr/lib does *not*
contain anything interesting.

Sincerly,

Thomas
