I've started looking at this build failure this morning, and my initial 
impressions are that a propagated-input is missing. I tried building guile-rsvg 
from core-updates and the build failed with three missing pango libraries (ld 
could not find -lpangocairo-1.0, -lpangoft2-1.0, and -lpango-1.0). I tried 
moving pango from the inputs to the propagated-inputs for librsvg, and that 
fixed the build of guile-rsvg. I'm just not sure if that is the right place to 
propagate it; I haven't yet traced where the pango libraries are being added to 
the linking command, as I've checked the pkgconfig files for librsvg, cairo, 
and a couple of other packages and not seen references to pango (which is what 
makes me think the pango propagated-input is needed elsewhere, and not actually 
in librsvg--but I also don't know Rust or what dependencies the rust code in 
librsvg has).

Cheers,
Kaelyn
