guessing that gnome-config is some sort of fallback if xrender.pc will
not be found. after i applied the patch from xorg's bugzilla i didn't
see that error message again.

isn't it possible that you have some x11/libX*-ports (at least
libXrender) installed ... maybe?

my first idea was to install libXrender but then i've seen that
all the libraries will be still installed with xorg-libraries.
the only different was the missing xrender.pc.

and if i take a look into xcursor.pc i see the following:
...
Requires: xrender
...

therefor i think this i a xorg-libraries bug.
