Since http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit?id=7cfebce15228c88ee122edb8ba575f9a609e36f4 building of Cairo fails with -Wl,--gc-sections in LDFLAGS.

Unknown float word ordering. You need to manually preset

What is your system?

Also, have you tested against f9b65ae1fc91bc558a01c2ad7be5a121c6f10818 ?
