The gnome configuration does not use $(PATH) to determine
where glib-genmarshal is located.
It also ignores totally the GLIB_GENMARSHAL environment variable.

It queries "$(PKG_CONFIG_PATH)/glib-2.0.pc" using pkg-config
PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set to $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/pkgconfig
The query returns the path to target glib-genmarhal = /usr/lib.

If you set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to "/usr/lib/pkgconfig", then
the build of libgtk2 will fail.

Building your own glib-genmarshal will not do you any good,
unless you can install it in /usr/bin which requires super-user privileges.

I managed to successfully build libgtk2 for the ARM architecture
right now, by symlinking some gnome applications to /usr/bin
and a patch to libgtk2-2.12.6'configure.

I saved all symlink definitions in a script, which I am
considering checking in.

The configure script will not recognize arm-unknown-linux-gnu
as a host, and "sys_lib_search_path_spec" seems to be hardwired
to "/usr/lib /lib /usr/local/lib" so the ARM applications
are linked with host libraries.

Will add this patch right now.
