OK, I gave up on Linux cross compiling of GTK+ after trying for 3
hours to build gdk-pixbuf (I managed to build glib as instructed in
the irc chat dump btw). Everything seems to be a complete mess. The
last error I've got resumes to:

"We need Glib >= 2.27.2, pkg-config reported 2.28.1 and we found
2.28.6, so we fail on autoconf.sh."

Now why would it do such a thing, since it got what it needed? Anyway.
Hopefully I'll be able to configure a build environment on Windows,
it's my only hope.

I'm kind of disappointed a bit that such big and popular projects like
the ones related to GTK are such a mess in terms of maintenance and
you have to make such a big effort to configure environment for
building them. It is sad that every time I try to build something it
keeps failing on various dependencies, and I have to go google the
error to get the name of the actual package I have to install.

Fingers crossed for building it on Windows now... :)
