Yes.

When not cross-compiling you might want to set BUILD_GLIB_LIBS and
BUILD_GLIB_CFLAGS to GLIB_LIBS and GLIB_CFLAGS in configure.in.
When cross-compiling a different eglib would need to be compiled.
Another solution is to remove glib use from monoburg, the stuff used
is quite small (and a fixed-size hash table is good enough for this
tool, the rest is just a list imple, basically).
