 I see revision 1.11 of inkscape/inkscape/configure.ac: "When adding -lgc
 to LIBS, also add its dependencies -lpthread -ldl."
 
 That appears to be wrong. I will contact inkscape developers to improve
 this.
 
 Maybe you can try this patch for now:

 I am unable to test.
 
 (I have also called it inkspace.)
