It seems really strange indeed.
It looks like you are trying to compile the gtk module as a builtin. Maybe 
you could try to do it as a plugin (there will be less confusion possible 
for ld as less $LIB_* will be included).
The only other thing I would suggest would be to use the strace command to 
see what's happening exactly (try strace -e trace=open)
