So far we can conclude that Gvim depends on some more or less nice libraries and their modules. My prime suspect is still "alsa", whydo things try to load "alsa"?The answer must be that it is caused by some monolithic GUI-lib.
gvim can be compiled from many different graphical interfaces. Maybe the full output of the ":version" command would helpyou nail the culprit. See ":help :redir" about how to capture that output.
