bug#35519: librsvg broken on i686-linux

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Danny and all,

I don’t know if it relates but on current ‘core-updates’ Rust 1.19 fails
to build on i686:

<https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/cnxzabs1mi42rfvz8gp34lqap0dwi9l6-rust-1.19.0-cargo>.)

Does that ring a bell?  Any ideas of a fix or workaround we could apply?

It’d be great if we could merge ‘core-updates’ soon.  This is
unfortunately not a regression compared to ‘master’, so I don’t think
this is a blocker.

Thoughts?
