'–disable-glibtest' not working

Trying to run configure without having to test for gtk and glib like so:

./configure --enable-wireshark=no --disable-glibtest

But at one point in the log it'll give me this and fail:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0... no Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: GLib 2.4 or later distribution not found.

I may just be confusing what these options actually do. But by the looks of the message it shouldn't be trying to run a test program.
