since commit a34cb719c, cairo needs pixman 0.36. Before that pixman 0.30
was enough (required since cairo 1.14).

I guess your pixman is too old.

I never used docker and have no clue what I am doing, but Google gave me
[0] and this has version numbers from 10.23 to 15.5, so I guess your
base image is just too old for this pixman version.

The necessary package in Debian is libpixman-1-dev, but since you are
installing libcairo-dev, I guess that you already get the newest pixman
that is available with whatever distro this is using.
