I tend to agree too except when you are linking against libraries built
with MinGW that uses msvcrt.dll CRT and the not the Visual Studio one. Of
course, if you know the basic rules of mixing CRT's that shouldn't be a
problem.

Do you happen to have installed anything else using glib that sets its bin
directory in PATH? Maybe Gtk+? Can you do a search in your computer for the
file libglib-2.0.dll?
It looks like the runtime linker is picking  DLL's from somewhere else.
It's easy to track with the Dependency Walker.
