ok, I learned the issue from Mojca's post to tlbuild about darwinlegacy

If this is feasible I will, but I can't in immediate future.

 I hope no admin rights needed ?
the x86_64-linux I have access to is installed on very strange network and I am not sure actually
where is physically located the CPU running the processes (my sysadmins have explained
at least thrice over the years but I still do not understand)
(take it just as a hint that I may not be fully qualified for the task)

I do understand naturally that binary builds have constraints related to architectures.
More problematic probably than
the `-o` problem with dvisvgm is that its 1.15.1 release does not support TL2017 xetex
