Well this is embarrassing.  As soon as you mentioned timestamps, I think I
know what the problem is.  I rebuilt tar (because I wanted a newer version).
I did tar xvf fontconfig-2.10.0.tar and did a directory compare between the
newly unpacked fontconfig and a previous one (as a test to see if the new tar
mangled any of the files).  All files were a binary match but the timestamps
were different.  I will toss the new tar, wipe my gtk3 build folder and
start over.  since I have a slow computer, maybe tomorrow I will let you know
how it turned out.  Thanks for your help.
