How did you invoke configure?

Did you point pkgconfig to the right directory?
in your case that would probably be something like
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/asdlab/freetype/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/asdlab/fontconfig/lib/pkgconfig
./configure

Why are you installing all the libraries in their on directory trees,
instead of using a common prefix for all the cross-compiled libraries
for one specific architecture?
