Hi,

unfortunately, a plain rebuild is not sufficient to solve the issue 
because GS 10 introduced changes regarding the visibility of some 
symbols provided by the library. Also, the dvisvgm code must be updated 
to look for the new GS library.

Here are the two patches that are required to fix this:
