Oh, looks like you have GLib/GIO 2.32 (which is the minimum required
version of ModemManager) but we unconditionally try to compile the
dbus testing support which comes only with GLib/GIO 2.34; that's a bug
in the building setup of ModemManager, will get that fixed.

You could try to install the new GLib version meanwhile, if possible.
