You can only break artificial loops. This one is real. When bootstrapping you 
have to have both, so it's real.

I only see two solutions (both are ugly):

 * Merge the Sources into one package and have pkg-config build as subpackage 
   from glib (or the other way around)
 * avoid pkg-config in glib
