I seem to recall something along this line when building xorg 7.1. They 
specifically limit the version of freetype to enable building.

http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide

[ suggested versions of base software ]
"# freetype 2.1.8 or 2.1.9. X may not link correctly against earlier 
versions, and has known stability issues with 2.1.10. FreeType 2.2.x 
breaks versions of libXfont before 1.2.0, and all current versions of 
fnttosfnt.

#fontconfig 2.2 or newer (Currently 2.2.3 is recommended)."

However, I use cairo 1.4.2, and pango 1.16.1 with freetype 2.1.9 with no 
problem. This is the danger of mixing garnome and host-based libraries.

My guess is some things need to be rebuilt. Or, allow garnome to build 
all of these libraries.
