I cannot solve 'it doesn't build' only with a config file. I would
like to, but I am sure that we will end up in an off-topic mail thread
here about getting your OE to build.

However, we do not apply patches, and we configure with
"--disable-some-floating-point" for soft floating point targets (not
that it matters up to now).

My cairographics build with these compile flags (for IXP42x):
armeb-linux-gcc -march=armv5te -mtune=xscale -mthumb-interwork
-mno-thumb -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -frename-registers
-fno-unroll-loops -fno-inline-functions -fweb -funit-at-a-time

OE Prebuilt packages are here, for many architectures:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?action=details&pnm=libcairo2

(Use "ar x *ipk" to extract the package, then untar the data.tar* archive.)
