As I said it is not a header file but static lib, the .la file will not
help you much, you need an .a file.

Or if it is ok for you to link to glib dynamically (in which case you'll
have to have glib.so available before /usr is mounted), you can do that
as well by removing the the "-Wl,-static" from DEPS_LIBS in configure.in
and run autoconf, reconfigure syslog-ng and that's about it.
