I tried to reproduce the issue but libsvgtiny still build fine here...

Maybe we can just fix the patch [1] ?
Can you send the patch ?

BTW, who is using libsvgtiny? There is no package using it, no DEVELOPERS entry,
a fragile build system and the version we use is out of date (2011-03-21).
Maybe we can drop it?
