xc/config/cf/hotst.def doesn't exist.
So I created it, put "#define HasFreetype2  NO" and rerun again. This time the
compilation was successfull.

However, I believe that Freetype 2 is installed on my system:
clock at beton:~$ locate freetype2
/usr/local/include/freetype2
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/cache
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/cache/ftccache.h
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/cache/ftccmap.h
[...]
clock at beton:~$ locate libfreetype
/opt/openoffice/program/filter/libfreetype.so.6
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.la
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfreetype.a
clock at beton:~$ freetype-config  --version
9.3.3
clock at beton:~$ which freetype-config
/usr/local/bin/freetype-config

Also I remember installing freetype2 at least once in the past from sources
(manually) according to their README, do not remember deliberately deleting
it, and various programs with freetype support (mozilla, gimp, gtk etc.) work
for me from which I infer my belief that freetype2 is installed on my system.

Neither freetype2 nor X.Org README AFAIK presents any official procedure to test
arbitrary running system for presence of properly installed freetype2, so
that my subjective beliefs are the only thing I am able to offer :(

Moreover, freetype2 is not listed among prerequisites for compilation of
X.Org server in the BUILDING file. Only fontconfig is mentioned which I assume
is different project from Freetype2. So I am surprised by the fact that
the compilation is dependent on it.
