You need to force it to use the supplied getopts files -- the system
ones seem to be buggy.  Try this:

  ac_cv_func_getopt_long=no ./configure --with-modules --disable-nls

You can extract the parts of libtool.m4 and ltdl.m4 from aclocal.m4
and add them to acinclude.m4 in your glib $top_srcdir.  This stuff is
between the definitions of AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and the end of
AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE.  You should then copy the ltconfig and
ltmain.sh from m4-1.4p over the versions you have in glib.

aclocal
automake
autoconf

and be careful not to clobber your hard work by running libtoolize!

You assumption is correct.  Gcc takes care of non-data exports.
