It seems that "privateer" doesn't properly use GTK's pkgconfig file, which says
that GTK requires gdk-pixbuf, causing gdk-pixbuf's include directory to be added
to the search path.  You can probably work around it by adding

  NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE = "-I${gtkLibs.gdk_pixbuf}/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0";

or even better

  preConfigure =
    ''
      NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE="$NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE $(pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0)"
    '';

(not tested).
