Where did you get that error? Is that from "./configure; make"?

And what is your enviroment ( CPU, compiler version, libtool version ( ld!!!!)

> It turns out that the libtool execution wrapper fc-list has explicitly added /usr/lib64 in front of /path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/src/.libs causing lt-fc-list to find an older libfontconfig.so.  Here is the relevant snippet from fc-list (part of the relink_command variable):

It may be different from your environment but I under my system:

Solaris 10, Sparc 64, gcc 3.4.6 ( from sunfreeware ),
/libtool-1.5.24-sol10-sparc-local

the error in the OP could not be reproduced.
