I think you might want to try your test commands using the default
compiler (i.e. g++, aka llvm-g++ aka llvm-g++-4.2).
If they manage to compile your test (and/or libtiff), then you're
probably missing some "true-gcc"-specific headers.
FWIW, I managed to reproduce the issue on my laptop (XCode 4.2.1)
using g++-4.2, but the compilation was fine with llvm-g++:

$ /usr/bin/g++-4.2 conftest.cxx -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/
In file included from conftest.cxx:1:
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk//usr/include/stdarg.h:4:25: error:
stdarg.h: No such file or directory
$ /usr/bin/g++ conftest.cxx -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/
$

It's possible that those headers were available in older XCode versions.
"On 10.7 (Lion), use XCode 4.1, which is a free download from the App Store."
This might mean that XCode 4.2.x has not been tested and/or that this
is not a known issue.

You might want to report this problem (and any progress you managed to
do, example: maybe it just works with llvm-g++) to a GTK+ development
mailing list.

AFAICT the solutions might be to:
 - avoid -isysroot if "true gcc" is to be used
 - use llvm-gcc
