Thanks.  I just checked the build-options for emacs and vlc and both can
be built without svg-support:

emacs
  --without-rsvg          don't compile with SVG image support

vlc
  --enable-svg            SVG rendering library [default=auto]
  --enable-svgdec         SVG image decoder library [default=auto]

So theoretically I probably could forego librsvg but in the meantime I
have updated to its latest version, using the "cargo vendor" method
which makes an offline-build possible and thus gives me better control
over the build-process.  Or at least the illusion of better control. ;)
