OK, so I guess that's why glibconfig.h is under /usr/lib* - to let systems with /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 (or whatever 
they do to support 32-bit and 64-bit userland) have separate configurations.

However, /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtypes.h just includes <glibconfig.h>, so it relies on "pkg-config --cflags" 
being used, and that prints

        -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include

on my machine.  Does that mean that pkg-config somehow needs to know whether you're building 32-bit or 64-bit?  Are 
there, for example, two separate GLib (and presumably GTK+) packages, one 32-bit and one 64-bit?  What does

        pkg-config --list-all | egrep -i glib

print?

Nope - not unless there's some way to tell pkg-config whether you want to build with the 32-bit or 64-bit version of 
GLib and GTK+ (and any other packages we use).
