On OpenBSD, if I run "readelf -d /usr/local/lib/librsvg-2.so.38.0" there's a TEXTREL entry indicating that the dynamic linker needs to modify the normally read-only text section of librsvg-2.so at run time.  The same issue should affect other operating systems as well.

The issue is that rsvg_get_file_path() is marked as G_GNUC_INTERNAL in rsvg-image.h, but rsvg-io.c (the file that implements rsvg_get_file_path()) does not include this header so the compiler doesn't know it needs to compile rsvg_get_file_path() as an internal function.

The diff below is one possible fix for this issue and results in a librsvg-2.so that does not contain text relocations, as evidenced by readelf.
