So, if there is GIO for linux, windows, mac, etc. from internal Glib one
may patch libgsf out of libreoffice since it is simply not needed. That
is where I am aiming at.

And your error disappears for good.

Sure, see above.


You could try to remove 'libgsf' from

	http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-extern-sys/tree/librsvg/prj/build.lst

and see if you can load svgz files. May be in other prj/build.lst as well.
