This looks unrelated.

You can --disable-gobject.

In this case the correct fix would be fix the glib-gobject package info to
point at the correct directories. In particular, the command:

  pkg-config --cflags gobject-2.0

should print a list of include directory flags which make it possible for
the compiler to find glib-gobject.h
