The patch it's trying to apply (https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/glib2/files/patch-glib-2.0.pc.in.diff) does not match the corresponding file...I got around this by deleting ' @GLIB_RT_LIBS@' from the line ' Libs.private: @ICONV_LIBS@ @GLIB_RT_LIBS@' in a local copy of the patch, and then editing the brew to use my local copy of the patch (replacing the appropriate 'mp' with '"/folder/patch/is/in."').
