Foyer Consulting.  

The glib-2.0.7{-13,-15,-25,-28,-29}.src.rpm packages from RedHat's ftp
site have all built (/w pgcc v1.1a), installed (RH v5.1), and run without
error for me.

Not only are Foyer's RPMs peculiar in having some undefined symbols, but
they're *old* too.  Best to just get the most recent code and build it
yourself.
