Note that --prefix specifies where the software lives at *runtime*, not
at compile time. If you just want to install to a temporary place, use

$ make install DESTDIR=<some-dir>

I suggest that if you are not familiar with the deeper details of cross
compiling, either get a copy of the autotool book or use one of the
excellent build systems (i.e. ptxdist, buildroot, oe).

With ptxdist, building glib is a easy as

$ ptxdist menuconfig

(select everything you need)

$ ptxdist targetinstall glib

rsc
