Right. You need at least freetype 2.1.7 to build the tree succeessfully. 
If you don't have that you will have to enable building of the included 
freetype module. This will unfortunately render the freetype module 
of the Xserver that gets build unsuable - partly because of bugs in 
freetype 2.1.7. I have caught this error yesterday and the workaround is 
rather simple. Unfortunately this wasn't detected prior to the 6.7 release 
:-(( 
I will upgrade freetype in the tree to the new 2.1.8 which has these 
bugs removed and has a new API that will allow Chisato to accelerate 
rendering of East Asian fonts without having to rely on an internal 
freetype function. 
This will unfortunately have to wait until I return from Boston. 
 
Egbert.
