Except that it doesn't. I installed libtool-1.3.3 locally, and changed the
definitions in the configure scripts so they invoke the locally installed
copy of libtool in /usr/local/bin, however the result is exactly the same:

libtool: link: `/azwan/glib-1.2.3/gmodule.la' is not a valid libtool archive
*** Error code 1

The problem of why gmodule.la is needed for this step of building gtk, and
also why it's not created when glib is built, both remain unanswered at this
stage... So I'm still stuck with no GIMP. 8-)
