Why exactly so we need gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders? Looking at https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/librsvg/blob/debian/master/gdk-pixbuf-loader/Makefile.am it seems we require it for two cases: a/ It's used in the rsvg-loader test b/ It's called during make install b/ is handled by triggers in Debian and already conditionalized by DESTDIR So maybe an alternative could be to simply skip building the rsvg-loader test. -- -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
