Locality was already broken. When adding another library, it was necessary to add its tests in the right place: before the glib test, after any libraries the new library depends on, before any other tests might be affected by the presence of the new library, etc.

The recent changes to configure.ac have made these dependencies more explicit, which I hope eases maintenance in the future.

I think just having Gtk+ and running configure without any parameters gives you 
this error.

I ran plain 'configure' on Fedora 20 (with all development libraries installed) and had no trouble. I expect Bug#17289 was caused by the use of --enable-link-time-optimization --with-file-notification=inotify.

We do not want Emacs to require Glib, or link with it if it is not being used.

Thanks, I added a comment to configure.ac to try to document this better.
