I've encountered the very same issue on the same system (Ubuntu 9.04), trying to build GNOME using jhbuild. After much research, I've finally found the culprit, which has nothing to do with glib, as Alexander said: it's dbus-glib's fault.
More precisely, you may see in your logs that the libtool command that triggered the error includes -ldbus-glib just before the wrong /usr/local/libg* references. And in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/dbus-glib.pc, you'll see that it requires libglib and libgobject, which are taken from the libdir specified in that file: the system one (in /usr/lib). The solution I could find was to override my system's dbus-glib by installing a jhbuild one, using 'jhbuild buildone dbus-glib' with the required moduleset. In my case, liboobs was also triggering the same problem, and I applied the same solution. You may encounter variants of that bug, not always so easy to work out, since the wrong libs are not systematically listed right after the one that pulls them in. Now, I don't know whose fault is it: the .pc file that should be written differently, jhbuild failing to set a needed variable, or libtool duplicating libs without checking in prefix? The present list is not really the place to discuss that, though... Anyway, I hope my answer can help you, and other people finding this thread when searching for that error message.
