Builds fine from the latest commit on the master branch. We can't help with issues related to forks of the Termux app.

There are two similar issues. I have added that line in glib build script. There is a circular dependency between glib and gobject-introspection. It could be fixed by building gobject-introspection in glib as similas as Alpine Linux did https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/main/glib/APKBUILD. That would increase build time. I could try to solve that if increased build time is allowed.

glib is well below the CI runner limit, by all means go for it.

Who can give me specific steps to solve it?

If glib and gobject-introspection are in your repository add with -I option with build-packages.sh command to prevent recompiling dependencies.

If glib and gobject-introspection does not present in your repository you have to follow some steps to bootstrap glib and gojbect-introspection (GI). See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.80.0/docs/reference/glib/building.md?ref_type=tags

1. Build glib using -Dintrospection=disabled option.
2. Build GI using glib from step1.
3. Build glib with -Dintrospection=enabled using GI from step2.

Since they are building for a custom prefix cn.mucute.merinal, -I option will not work.
