The relevant lines from that build log are these:

,----
| checking for gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders... no
| checking for gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-64... no
| checking for gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-32... no
| configure: error: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders not found in path
`----

This is due to the following change in gdk-pixbuf:

,----
| gdk-pixbuf (2.36.12-2) unstable; urgency=medium
| 
|   [ Simon McVittie ]
|   * Update versioned Breaks/Replaces
|   * Remove /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders symlink from -dev package.

Apparently the statement "Debian packages do not seem to rely on this tool
being in PATH" was a bit too optimistic.
