Look at the linker command, you will probably see libtool
changing -lwhatever to explicit /usr/lib/libwhatever... I'm
not sure why exactly it thinks it has to do this (though
I have a suspicion removal of the .la files would `fix' it),
but the result is that system libraries are linked, not the
compiled ones.

What works, although it's annoying, is to build all the libs
in the stack to use the new glib, this probably means atk in
you case.  Also ensure make sure cairo is compiled first,
then pango, because the dependency is in this order.
