You're probably right, but what do you mean by "new freetype"?. I subsequently 
built and installed freetype-2.1.7 and ran ldconfig. Then in 
fontconfig-2.2.1/, I ran

make distclean
./configure
make

Whereas fontconfig built ok with freetype-2.1.5, it fails with
freetype-2.1.7 with the error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/root/src/gtk/fontconfig-2.2.1/fc-lang'

Can you possibly point me to a patch to fix this problem, as I've been unable
to find one. Or do I need to manually fix all the includes in the fontconfig 
source. 
That wouldn't be a huge problem, except that freetype-2.1.7 causes the same 
problem in several other packages I'm building besides fontconfig, hence 
the switch back to 2.1.5.

Thanks,
