It looks like a host.def issue to me. If host.def wasn't changed for a
long time (since march), it won't contain the '#define HasFontconfig
Yes'. Without that xfree will try to compile its own fontconfig lib,
which is quite a bit older than the one we use and seems to have
problems with our freetype2 lib.
