For anyone having trouble with their build when its building the font
cache, I think I may have a solution that doesn't involve patching anything.
In your source directory, edit misc/freetype/Makefile. Change the
freetype version from 2.1.3 to 2.1.4rc1. When it downloads this new
file, it will barf because the checksums don't match. Go back into this
directory and run 'md5sum freetype-2.1.4rc1.tar.bz2 >> checksums'. Then
run 'make install' from where you left off.
This fixed the problem for me. It took about 5 seconds to build the
font cache, where it got stuck in an infinite loop before. My build
hasn't finished quite yet, but it got farther than it did before.
