Unfortunately you removed the interesting part of this log. If you
are routinely reporting FTBFS in Autotools packages, please attach the
whole log, or quote the part of configure's output just before it starts
dumping config.log and the part of config.log just before it starts
dumping cache variables. Those are the actual failure.
Luckily, this package also FTBFS on reproducible-builds, so I was able
to find the interesting parts of the log:

This looks like fallout from gdk-pixbuf (2.36.12-2) which removed
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders in order to make libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev Multi-Arch:
same. I used codesearch.debian.net to try to find packages that depended
on gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders and did not find any, but I must have missed
this one.
I don't see a way for gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders to be in PATH
while allowing cross-compilation to use libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders queries the available loaders for its own
architecture, but when cross-compiling on a build architecture for a
host architecture, the build machine can't necessarily run the host
architecture's gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders. It also can't be in a
Multi-Arch: foreign package because its output is architecture-specific.
Looking at librsvg, it seems we might be able to reinstate
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders in libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev but rename it to
$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)-gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders, and then change librsvg to
use AC_CHECK_TOOL instead of AC_PATH_PROGS; or install
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders in /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) instead of
/usr/bin, then add that to PATH when building librsvg. That would mean
we can't cross-compile librsvg on a build machine that can't run host
binaries, but we'd still be able to cross-compile other gdk-pixbuf users.
The worst case scenario would be that we have to reinstate
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders, reopen #689125 and mark it wontfix, but
hopefully that won't be necessary.
