Thank you for your suggestions. This is exactly what I did, but I had
also to manually modify the src/Makefile (as generated by configure) to swap
the order of include directories in the -I option of CAIRO_CFLAGS, since
it was looking at the wrong Xrender headers: /usr/X11R6/include vs
$HOME/include (the right one).
But I don't think there is much you can do here, since those CFLAGS are
just the concatenation of pkg-config outputs.
