The good news. I built from cvs by deleting docs from makefile.am. fc-cache 
now works with the windows fonts directory. *.fon no longer cause seg. 
faults. Great work - 2.2 looks ready.

But...the cvs mytery remains.

1. I do have docbook2html ( and docbook2txt and docbook2man.

2. So configure finds it. From configure.log:

configure:9756: checking for docbook2html
configure:9772: found /usr/bin/docbook2html
configure:9783: result: yes
configure:9966: creating ./config.status

3. config.status has:

s, at HASDOCBOOK@,yes,;t t
s, at ENABLE_DOCS_TRUE@,#,;t t
s, at ENABLE_DOCS_FALSE@,,;t t
s, at DOCDIR@,${datadir}/doc/fontconfig,;t t

So it expects to build the docs, because it has docbook2*, but fails.

FWIW, I also deleted docbook2html

Which gave config.status:
s, at HASDOCBOOK@,no,;t t
s, at ENABLE_DOCS_TRUE@,#,;t t
s, at ENABLE_DOCS_FALSE@,,;t t
s, at DOCDIR@,${datadir}/doc/fontconfig,;t t

which failed to build with the *same* problem.

I hope it gives you some hint - I'm befuddled.

In any event - congrats on 2.2
