I did it this way: after configure stage (just before make) overwrite 
fc-lang/Makefile:
        cat >fc-lang/Makefile <<EOF
# This file overwrites original Makefile for cross-compiling fontconfig

all:
        gcc `grep FREETYPE_CFLAGS Makefile | sed -e 's,^.* = 
\(-I.*\)$,\1,'` \
-I.. -I../src fc-lang.c -o fc-lang
        ./fc-lang *.orth < fclang.tmpl.h > fclang.h || exit $?
clean:
        rm -f fc-lang fclang.h

install:

These are different versions of freetype, you need to use freetype2.
