The problem isn't with pkg-config. but with GTK.

You check pkg-config with gtk+-2.0, but configure thinks you want GTK 3; if you 
really want GTK2 adjust the CONF_OPT_GUI line in the Makefile.  

I'd first check the return status of pkg-config --exists gtk+-3.0:

$ pkg-config --exists gtk+-3.0;echo $?

should say "0"; I say that because from my reading of the configure script that 
would be a way that you'd get a bare "configure:9850: result: no" with no 
explanation; if the link of a test programme failed, or the run of it failed, 
there'd be more info in the log.  If you get "1" pkg-config thinks you haven't 
got GTK3, and maybe you need to install some GTK3 development files.

Autotools configure scripts are beasts.

You could try using 

CONF_OPT_GUI = --enable-gui=gtk3 --disable-gtktest

in the Makefile to skip some of those GTK tests.  The version will still gets 
checked, but it's seems bit redundant in that a version less than 3.0.0 
wouldn't be, well, 3.
