Once there is a glib package available there's no problem to build against it.
This is a cyclic dependency and is nothing new.

Just define a bootstrap variable that chooses between

a) normal case: use glib package from distro

or

b) bootstrap: build with internal glib [then build glib with the newly built
pkgconfig and redo build with a)]

You only have to bootstrap once a distribution, and even that you should be
able to do with a).
