ftsystem.lo is a  a libtool object file.
if I don't use ccache it's an ascii file and it's contents is something like:

# Name of the PIC object.
pic_object='.libs/ftsystem.o'

# Name of the non-PIC object
non_pic_object='ftsystem.o'

if I use ccache the file type is:
objs/ftsystem.lo: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

Did you try youself to compile freetype on linux? I'm quite sure you will encounter
the same problem.
