That is expected - per the policy we only aim to support the most recent,
and most recent but one for 2 years overlap. Since LTS releases are two
years apart, this basically means always just 2 most recent LTS releases
for Ubuntu. Since we Ubuntu 18.04 LTS came out last month, we don't
need to continue 14.04 LTS

Presumably you're using a Debian host for that ?

The debian-win64-cross.docker job seems to pull in packages from

  deb http://pkg.mxe.cc/repos/apt/debian jessie main

And mxe claims to have glib 2.54

Alternativel Fedora has new mingw packags too
