Probably because the configure script found it anyway.

The compilation warnings clearly indicate that glib was found as those are
glib defined macros.

But the error that caused the failure was

Which looks.like a toolchain issue.

> Well, it certainly depends on the features that you want enabled on your
platform. The syslog-ng configure script allows tailor-made configurations
at a pretty granular level. But I guess it would make sense to compile
syslog-ng for your use-case.

use-case, but it is generally slim package implemented in C, so it should
be possible. The dependency I'd be afraid the most is glib, which has grown
pretty fat in recent times. There an earlier release could be enough (2.14
should be ok).
