I'm guessing this is related to the new MacOS X port.

As I recall, using the autoconf bits seemed to be intrinsically more 
portable than pkg-config bits, especially on other platforms like MacOS 
and Solaris.

Give http://review.gluster.org/7674 a try and see if that works better 
for you.

The glib2 autoconf bits look like they'll try to do something sane if 
there are no pkg-config bits. The zlib bits maybe not so much — that 
part might need more work.
