Correct.

Correct.

However, these are FreeType headers, not fontconfig headers.
FreeType 2.2+ installs ftheader.h as usual, but it does not
install internal.h any more.

Indeed they do not belong to *fontconfig* source tarball.

No; if you have FreeType installed, you have ftheader.h.
But if it's version 2.2+ you do not have internal.h which
fontconfig uses too and therefore it does not compile.

Have you tried to apply

?
