Let me clarify: PyGobject-3.0.3 seems to require one of the Python
Cairo bindings depending on which version of python you are building
PyGobject for.  I installed py2cairo after running into this configure
error and it installed just fine.

I missed that libffi was REQUIRED for glib, I thought it was just optional.

Go n-éirí leat,
