This could be an upstream bug or a bug in pkgconfig, as it fails to compile with the vanilla source with the same error

Sorry, missed that... attached
Yes, it fails cause it needs glib >=2.24 (http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.24/). You have to wait some days until there is an official version bump of glib. I resolve this bug as LATER. If you still think there is a bug, please reopen. Thank you for your report.
Yeah, doc fail then. INSTALL has the following requirement, but this is upstream bug: 4. You need to have installed GTK+ version 2.18.1 or newer. GIMP also need a recent versions of GLib (>= 2.22.0) and Pango (>= 1.20.1). Sources for these can be grabbed from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. Thanks for the info.
