Well, it does test for local.conf. It's an RPM problem:

if [ -f /var/tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94-root/etc/fonts/local.conf ]; then \
  echo "not overwriting existing 
/var/tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94-root/etc/fonts/local.conf"; \
else if [ -f ./local.conf ]; then \
  echo " /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./local.conf 
/var/tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94-root/etc/fonts/local.conf"; \
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./local.conf 
/var/tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94-root/etc/fonts/local.conf; \
else if [ -f local.conf ]; then \
  echo " /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 local.conf 
/var/tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94-root/etc/fonts/local.conf"; \
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 local.conf 
/var/tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94-root/etc/fonts/local.conf; \
fi; fi; fi
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./local.conf 
/var/tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94-root/etc/fonts/local.conf

I don't know enough RPMese to suggest a fix.

I got fcfreetype.c from cvs because I looks like that where the fix is. 
Stuck it in  2.1.94 and rebuilt. I still have the same problem.

But -you may ask - why didn't I just checkout cvs and build that? I tried.

got ltmain.sh from 2.1.94
aclocal
autoheader
automake --add-missing
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-docs
make
........
Making all in doc
make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/misc/fontconfig/cvs/fontconfig/doc'

".deps/edit-sgml.Tpo" \
  -c -o edit-sgml.o `test -f 'edit-sgml.c' || echo './'`edit-sgml.c; \
then mv ".deps/edit-sgml.Tpo" ".deps/edit-sgml.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/edit-sgml.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o edit-sgml  edit-sgml.o
mkdir .libs
gcc -g -O2 -o edit-sgml edit-sgml.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `fonts-conf.5', needed by `all-am'.  
Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/misc/fontconfig/cvs/fontconfig/doc'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


Is there a problem, or am I missing a step?
