This `.la' file tells Libtool that there is no static library, even though there
is one.  Either the Libtool that generated this library was buggy, or something
edited the file after Libtool wrote it.

Try editing this to be `old_library='libglib-2.0.a''.  Then do likewise for the
`.la' files of the other problematic libraries.

What type of system is this?  If GNU/Linux, what distribution and version?
