Since glib is already installed on almost every Linux/FreeBSD/... system, I
have never thought about replacing it. However, it should not be very
difficult to do this. Writing a wrapper providing GList, GArray and the type
definitions should already be sufficient. So, if you write such a wrapper, we
could integrate it.

I have just tried to compile sctplib with g++ instead of gcc. Probably, only
some casts are needed. I will have a further look.
