I've tried to build from the 5.0 branch and it failed in a similar way:

/usr/bin/g-ir-compiler --includedir=. --includedir=. Gda-5.0.gir -o Gda-5.0.typelib

** (g-ir-compiler:3655): ERROR **: Invalid typelib for module 'Gda': In 
directory:Constant value type void
make[3]: *** [Gda-5.0.typelib] Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/libgda5-5.0.3+git/libgda'


Note that we currently build without vala. That may be related.

Cheers,
