something pulls in the system installed glib before your custom glib
version. probably some dependency found prior to glib.

Hmm.. even the very first first configure test includes the system
installed glib-2.0 include/library PATHs first:

configure:3070: gcc -I/opt/local/include -I/usr/sfw/include
-I/opt/sfw/include -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0/ -I/opt/local/include
-I/usr/sfw/include -I/opt/sfw/include -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0/
-L/usr/local/inp/glib/lib conftest.c  >&5

You need to find out why. Maybe the environment LDFLAGS/CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
