No, that shouldn't be necessary -- Pan works with older versions too.
At compile time, Pan uses preprocessor #if statements to work either
way, like this:

  #if GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,10,0)
  int * new_order = (int*) g_slice_alloc (n * sizeof(int));
  #else
  int * new_order = g_new (gint, n);
  #endif

If Mandriva's layout isn't too different from RH,
GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,10,0) will be looking at
/usr/include/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h,
which has lines like these:

  #define GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION 2
  #define GLIB_MINOR_VERSION 10
  #define GLIB_MICRO_VERSION 0

So my first thought is that somehow that glibconfig.h is from 2.10
but the glib library that /usr/lib/pkg-config/glib-2.0.pc is pointing
to is 2.8.

This could be the case if the glib2 rpm is 2.8 and glib2-devel is 2.10,
or if the files have been tweaked by hand.  Otherwise I'm not sure how
it could happen.

What does your glibconfig.h say your major/minor/micro versions are?
