I've given a close look to this and all the check are dependent on the
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gobject-introspection-1.0.pc file. It is assumed that this
file is in the same package as the generator/compiler/makefiles (on Fedora it
is all in gobject-introspection-devel).

>From your configure trace, I see that this file is indeed present as the check
succeed, but at least the makefile
(/usr/share/gobject-introspection-1.0/Makefile.introspection) was missing. Thus
no rules get created. This is a distribution error, but it could have been
trapped at build time by replacing:

-include $(INTROSPECTION_MAKEFILE)

By:

if HAVE_INTROSPECTION
include $(INTROSPECTION_MAKEFILE)
endif

Which would have error out on "file not found" making it obvious your
installation is not correct. We could also check if the different files exist,
but I think we should be able to trust the .pc files in general. Up to you to
propose a fix as this is not strictly our bug.
