[poppler] Fontconfig issue whilst building Poppler 0.62.0

[suzuki toshiya]

Dear Simon,

could you upload the verbose log (by "make VERBOSE=1") to somewhere
and post the link there? we cannot see the detailed commandline
options to the compiler/linker and it's hard to guess what's going
on.

In my impression, it seems that the linker slipped to add several
external libraries required by libfontconfig (and caused unresolved
symbols for libuuid and libxml2). The point looking strange for me
is "why libfontconfig.a is placed under /usr/local/lib?". I think,
fontconfig is quite widely used libraries, even on the systems without
GUI environment, so it could be found in /usr tree...

Regards,
mpsuzuki
