No, the other way around. If you have an older version of glib2
installed, and libtool links in the relink step against the older
version, then there may well be undefined symbols, it should link
against the fresh created glib2 library, this was a libtool bug
which IMO was fixed in the Cygwin release of libtool-devel-1.5.10,
but I may be wrong and it is only included in the experimental 1.9
release.

This must fail for sure as long as there is an older glib2 installed,
since it failed to install the complete glib2-2.6.4 package.

Try to remove the current glib2 package before building 2.6.4 (and
reinstall libtool-devel and friends). Then libtool has no chance to
pick up the system glib2.

It was meant as a ping to the libtool maintainer. Since there are
always some Cygwin specific fixes in the libtool builds and we use
a wrapper to call libtool-devel or libtool-stable according to the
requested version in configure it is somewhat difficult to get this
right for a standard Cygwin setup.

With ./ at the beginning of the line it will use the libtool generated
during a previous configure run.

Then the newer libtool wasn't installed correct.
