This sounds very familiar. I ran into the same problem under DarwinPorts 
(now called MacPorts). I came up with a workaround and then Charles 
identified the real problem as being the pkg-config file for glib-2.0. I 
think the key post in the thread is this:

I wrote a bug report against DarwinPorts to fix this and I believe that 
is why this particular problem no longer occurs in MacPorts. But you can 
just modify your glib-2.0.pc by adding -I${includedir} to the Cflags: 
line. I see that on my Mac version (the Ubuntu version doesn't need it 
since in that case ${includedir} is just /usr/include which contains 
libintl.h). On the Mac, libintl.h is not in /usr/include. It is in the 
special include directory that belongs to MacPorts (I assume it's the 
same situation with fink) and that's why that directory has to be 
explicitly included.
