Are you sure?  I just noticed that --disable-glib does not also disable gtk 
(which depends on glib), and then libextractor would likely fail building the 
thumbnail plugin and fail there.  So the error message should at least change  
a bit.  If that is the case, you may want to copy the attached Makefile.am 
over src/plugins/Makefile.am.  This will make sure that gtk is disabled 
whenever glib is not found, that should then fix the problem. Let me know if 
this works...

Thanks!
