I'm having partial success with GTK+ 2 as well, and I managed to get 
around the "undefined reference" that you list below:

I am installing under /usr/local, and I had to do:
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig
This is so that pango knows to build the Xft target as well, which is 
required for GTK+ under X11.

As well, I had to edit /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/xcursor.pc and comment 
out the "Requires: xrender"  line, as there is no .pc file for xrender 
on my system, and this confuses pkg-config. Note that if you previously 
installed any of the glib/atk/pango, you will probably have to delete 
any installed files to get the compile to succeed again.

However, I still can't get GTK+ to build correctly. It fails in 
configure when trying to detect ATK with:

This seems to be caused by the fact that ATK didn't install any shared 
libraries (i.e. there is no /usr/local/bin/cygatk-1.0.dll on my system).

libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-cygwin 
shared libraries

Seems to me that libtool fails to build the shared library due to 
undefined symbols. I just wish it would tell me *which* symbols are 
undefined though. The config/log doesn't contain any additional information.

Anybody knows how to get shared ATK libraries?
