Comment(by LantzR@…):

 Hiya

 I had what seems to be this problem. I discovered it when reinstalling
 gtk2 which crashed and burned.

 XRef: #20997

 I'm on running OsX 10.4.11 on PPC. I have kept the default for universal
 builds.

 Note that both glib2 and gtk2 were built and working last month, so
 something changed recently.

 I had rebuilt glib2 on Sept 12th, then gtk2 failed as described in #20997
 two days later

 {{{
 grep G_BYTE_ORDER /opt/local/lib/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h
 #define G_BYTE_ORDER G_LITTLE_ENDIAN
 }}}

 For me the undocumented ''build_arch'' did not exist in macports.conf so I
 just added the empty one.

 Uninstalled glib2 and it's dependents, installed glib2 then gtk2. It
 worked just fine.

 I believe it did a universal build.  I'll look for more info.

 Cheers,
 Lantz
