OK. Figured it was going to come to that. Behdad said the same thing  
in IRC.

Following that advice, I'm trying to compile fontconfig (managed to  
get FreeType compiled, found one issue with it). I think some of the  
same developers hang out here, so I apologize for asking somewhat off  
topic. I can ask on a different list if someone points me at it.  
Anyway, I'm trying to compile fontconfig in my own local directory  
($HOME/BuildCairo), set with --prefix at ./configure time. I also used  
the --sysconfdir=/etc, If I didn't, it wanted to believe that the  
FONTCONFIG_PATH was down in my BuildCairo directory. But I still get a  
compile error of some sort. Not even sure exactly what's going wrong.  
I see lots of warning, but am missing the actual error. I've copied  
the output below my sig. Any help/hints greatly appreciated.

The -DFC_CACHEDIR value seems like a Bad Thing, but maybe I just don't  
understand it well enough...
