Exactly.

$ glib-config --libs gmodule
-L/usr/local/lib -rdynamic -lgmodule-1.1  -lglib-1.1 -ldl

$ gtk-config --libs
-L/opt/themes/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -L/usr/local/lib -rdynamic -lgmodule-1.1 -lglib-1.1 -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lpthread -ldl -lm

When -lgmodule is needed, gmodule should be added to the glib-config
line, as it is for GTK+. Perhaps you should try getting clean copies
of of gtk+ and gnome-libs? Everything seems to configure and compile
fine here.
