This is probably because of some quoting issues or because the 
%GTK_LIBS% variables are not substituted.  I wouldn't even expect them
to be subsituted, so I wouldn't even call this a bug.
Anyway, I'll have a look whether we can do something about this, but it
may take some time.

Alternatively, you could use Makefiles which should work. Just an idea
but of course it is less convenient for single files but quickly gets
really useful when you have more than one source file to compile.
