It sort of looks like you aren't linking to gfileutils.c and 
gconvert.c, so perhaps automake didn't get run and your
makefiles are old - did you run autogen.sh?

Again this could be a problem with ./autogen.sh not being run
or not working.

If that isn't the problem, something is screwed up about your
checkout. If you are getting stuff from anoncvs, you might want to try
explicitely updating explicitely from anoncvs{1,3,4}.gnome.org instead
of the round-robin anoncvs to find one that is up to date. (The most
recent entry in the GLib changelog is currently 2001-03-13 Tor

pkg-config, glib, pango, gtk+
