I am in the list now.

Also, just a disclaimer: 2.21.x is the unstable branch, and currently
undergoing quite some changes.

Yes, I know.

Hmm, no mention of xproto here. Implicit dep pulled in by libxft.pc?
Seems strangely familiar...

What does 'locate xproto.pc' return?

 [gonzalo porte superclubs]$ locate xproto.pc
/usr/share/pkgconfig/dmxproto.pc
/usr/share/pkgconfig/xproto.pc

In case your slocate database isn't
reasonably uptodate, check the xorg-x11-proto-devel RPM, if it contains
it.

Yes, this package include the file:

Also, what does 'locate xproto.h' return?

[root porte superclubs]# locate xproto.h
/usr/include/GL/glxproto.h
/usr/include/X11/extensions/dmxproto.h
/usr/include/xcb/xproto.h
