Try glib/gtk+-1.2.10 which compiles OOTB.  Actually I had to apply
one patch to glib-1.2.10/gstrfuncs.c.  Change line 704ff. from

  #ifdef HAVE_STRSIGNAL
    return strsignal (signum);
  #elif NO_SYS_SIGLIST

to

  #ifdef HAVE_STRSIGNAL
  #ifndef __CYGWIN__
    extern char *strsignal (int sig);
  #endif
    return strsignal (signum);
  #elif NO_SYS_SIGLIST

I have compiled vim-6.0 with gtk GUI and xchat-1.8.3 successfully with
these libs.
