Perhaps there is more than one piece of code which creates the condition which
causes the bug. 

I understand that the fix only fixes the symptoms of a much larger problem (I
don't fully understand the make-related stuff though). But how about including
the workaround in CVS for a while, and see if it breaks anything. We should
leave some kind of comment or maybe even a compilation warning that says this is
an "ugly hack".

I've tried both with the freetype included with XOrg and with the Debian package
of Freetype 2.1.7 (by specifying "#define HasFreetype2 YES" if I understand
correctly). The bug occures with or without "#define Freetype2BuildDefines
-DTT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER". 

I'll post another log file from latest CVS without any host.def file.
