This is a tough problem because of overlinking, and everything packages using
glib/gtk inheritate 2 known cause of overlinking: badly written .pc files and
badly handled .la files. (USES=libtool may help a bit on the second one, but not
100% enough).
I have seen upstream some fixes for the .pc files but I don't know if we have the
fixed version of .pc files yet in our ports. maybe yes
