Well first glib's configure check if the compiler/linker supports this
flag "checking for -Bsymbolic-functions linker flag... yes".

I also test build glib20 with gcc46 after your report and it works fine.
However I believe that if you use a gcc version from ports it should use
also the linker from the binutils package, not the linker from base.
