Is it possible to compile glib directly from ftp.gimp.org? I can't compile directly from the tar. It complains it cannot determine the host when I execute the configure script. I then do: ./configure host=Darwin which fails with ltconfig. Same happens with ./configure host=bsd. Any suggestions?

You should be able to compile static without too much trouble, but if you want dynamic you'll need a patched libtool.
