GTK+ uses glib internally, so I doubt a glibless spice-gtk is possible...
However as you pointed out, maemo uses glib on ARM (and I think other
devices are doing that too) so I don't think glib/gtk+ is fundamentally
broken on ARM, though in the spice-gtk case, it seems there are bugs
somewhere in the stack causing crashes.
