The order of libs is wrong for $(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0)
-lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 should be at the end.
$ pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0

No, this is correct.
Windows need the libs in the correct order, i.e. backwards.
No, the order is as with --as-needed on Linux, and in this case, where
all those libs are shared, the order doesn't matter at all as long as
they come after the object files which require them.
