We had a similar problem upstream [1], and I just committed the fix for
it (7b2f0fe).  It only happens with GLib >= 2.31 (1f02ef3), version at
which GIO stopped showing it's dependency on GModule, and since we
didn't depend on it ourselves, the build fails [2].

You can probably backport the fix or simply do it in on your side
(adding gmodule-2.0 to gtk_modules in configure.ac is probably enough
since Debian don't use the Waf build system anyway -- and actually drops
it IIRC).

[2] but it probably only happens if the linker doesn't accept implicit
dependencies since GIO still link gmodule
