Package: gtk+2.0
Version: 2.8.20-1
I suspect this is caused by other libraries referencing the old
/usr/lib/libXrender.la which has been removed a while ago. This
caused a lot of problems, since the maintainer decided not to rename
the libxrender-dev package when he removed features. I am not sure
where to report this bug, so I'm reporting it for the package whose
build actually fails.

You seem to have built libpango1.0-dev at the time where Xrender.la was
available, and then Gtk, when it wasn't available anymore.
These bugs are all caused by an inappropriate handling of this removal
by the X / Xorg team. There was nothing else to do than to rebuild all
higher level libs that ship *.la files referencing Xrender.la at this
point (or re-add Xrender.la).
Since this only happen due to your local builds of pango1.0 and
libcairo, I suggest you rebuild them or edit their *.la files to clear
the dependency_libs='...' line.
We applied 3 different techniques to this problem in packages of the
GNOME team, and we're in the process of getting rid of *.la files
altogether.
I'm closing this bug.
