Yes, I understand it is expected. That is my problem. I forgot I had 
pkg-config files for X.org packages in that directory. So when I used the 
build.sh tool, I never noticed that it was using my old, incompatible 
libraries/headers ... until the build failed due to missing support.

Removing the pkgconfig files doesn't seem like the best choice since that 
may cause problems with other uses of the system. Changing the pkg-config 
path environment variable also is not a good choice since I want it to 
see my freetype2.pc for example.

It seems like the build.sh framework should be smart enough to use the 
pkg-config files that it just installed (instead of my old incompatible 
versions). Maybe something should set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the 
build.sh's $prefix/lib/pkgconfig when checking for modular X.org 
components (as previously installed via same run of the build.sh).
