This is a common mistake Rupert also fell for: there is no easy rebuild. Even
minor
version bumps turn out to be porting projects lately. Please read my analysis

the problem at

well, then it means cairo is a hard thing :) Essentially packages should
be rebuilt from time to time to update them gradually. Here it is a
minor upstream revision, no compiler change... but since it has many
many dependencies, it is a tree of changes.
Debian has automated build scripts: we should perhaps too: tis would
detect dependency changes. At a minimum, every time a developer package
is obsoleted we should check depending packages. In cairo I found 4
packages that were obsoleted or do not even exist anymore.
Getting back to the "task".
/opt/csw/bin/pkg-config
gives indeed more sane results, at least it lists all packages. Can the
other be uninstalled? I hope that during configure the correct one gets
picked up.
librsvg-2.0 librsvg - library that renders svg files
gdk-pixbuf-2.0 GdkPixbuf - Image loading and scaling
are both present, this is a first important check. When I try to get cflags:
/opt/csw/bin/pkg-config --cflags librsvg-2.0
sh: gnome-config: not found
Package libpng15 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpng15.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libpng15', required by 'GdkPixbuf', not found
/opt/csw/bin/pkg-config --cflags gdk-pixbuf-2.0
sh: gnome-config: not found
Package libpng15 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

I suppose this is something similar to what Laurent was seeing?
I will retry building / updating librsvg and see if it solves the issue.
