Answer is: Library libgobject-2.0.dll.a is a part of libglib2.0-devel.

I have installed libglib2.0-devel version 2.50.3-1 now, I added 
-llibglib-2.0 -llibgobject-2.0 to LIBS and still have

Investigating objects in libgobject-2.0:

$ nm --print-file-name --defined-only lib-extract/libgobject-2.0/* | 
grep -F g_object_unref
d000165.o:0000000000000000 I __imp_g_object_unref
d000165.o:0000000000000000 T g_object_unref

"T" means symbol is defined in TEXT (code).

Is the "undefined reference to `g_object_unref'" result of "relocation 
truncated to fit"?
