your patch simply adds a glib library dependency in one place and is just
chaging whitespaces in the others.

could you please:
a) build the glib/cairo/pango/gtk toolchain without any patches to figure
   whether you still have any problems doing that
b) outline the actually build error you're running into (in this case copy
   the relevant build log excerpt from gtk) if you run into problems
c) if we still can't get things fixed, try building the toolchain with
   jhbuild, we can give hand holding on how to do that on #gtk+
