I'd suggest you read what glib provides to get a clue WHY is is a

dynamic loading and an object system." That's not the sort of stuff
that could be optional.
I'm quite familiar with what glib does. I'm building a GTK+ and glib
free system. (After all, LFS is supposed to be your Linux your way,
right?) It may not be optional with an average system especially if
GTK+ GUI is used by some packages. However, it is certainly not used
on my system at this time and I don't have plans on adding it any time
soon. I even use a forked version of sdcv that does not need glib.
Sounds like an interesting project. It would be easy enough on a server
without a gui, but pretty tricky with one.
Doing just Xorg, the libraries want fontconfig, which wants freetype
which has a recommendation of harfbuzz where we recommend glib.
Are you doing a gui? If so window manager do you want to use?
