Checking my system, I have sgmlspl in /usr/local/bin. It's the only file there, but I'm not sure how it got there. Here is a diff:

I use the cpan -i method for installing, but I don't remember creating /usr/local/bin/sgmlspl.
The symlink should be fine.
TeX is a good typesetting language for special uses. I wrote a couple of applications that used it quite effectively for creating a document on a repetitive basis from changing sources.
For the TeX install, you don't need to install everything. The full install is quite large, but generally you only need TeX and dvi tools. The rest is somewhat more specialized.
As a note, when I started using TeX, I tried LaTeX, but it couldn't do what I wanted, so I used plain TeX. It's much more powerful than LaTeX and, IMO, easier to use.

I have nothing at /usr/local/bin/.
From your comment, I understand that when updating fontconfig, I can go to SGMLSpm and add the symlink there.
For programming, I think TeX should be OK, thus decided that, for development, I should accept it.
OT: My problem with TeX started when people defending those smiling easy-to-use expensive "fruit" PCs because they were easy-to-use, but also used to like TeX, instead of a normal word processor. They tried to convince everybody about these contradictory ideas, and I still find that ridiculous. It was the second half of the 1980's. I liked very much programming, and was programming, daily, for my work, by then.

Fixed at revision 11982.
Symlink added to SGMLSpm-1.1, to create sgmlspl, reason described in comment:2
If the switch --disable-docs is not used, we have two problems.
First one, even with SGMLSpm, make breaks with error of not finding "sgmlspl". Reason is SGMLSpm installs sgmlspl.pl. Solution I tried and worked:
Perhaps I did something wrong. If not, should this be added to SGMLSpm (has already a chmod ..., noticed only after doing it myself)?
Then, same problem as rsync (IIRC), texlive is needed:
I will update ignoring it.
After almost 30 years of hating tex, I will later install it, so I won't have this problem anymore. Today, I noticed that it is installed in /opt, thanks Bruce!!! (I think).
Then, I will test rsync's and this package's docs generation and add the further optional dependencies.
