Nope, they look fine, at first glance. You shouldn't need any of them.
I haven't noticed those checks normally, when compiling e.g.
cross-compilers. (But it all whizzes by at a fair speed, and if no
wheels fall off, it's fine.)

What happens if you apt-get install: gconf2 & gconf2-common?

What does "locate gconf-2.0.pc" give? Is it mentioning it because you
have it, rather than gconf-2.0? If so, what happens after:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=PKG_CONFIG_PATH:path_to_gconf-2.0.pc

(After doing echo PKG_CONFIG_PATH, to confirm it uses : separator. ;-)
