I see this the first time.  You have typed `configure; make', haven't
you?

Can you show us the contents of ftsystem.lo?  It should be an ASCII
file, looking similar to this:

  # /home/ft/freetype2.zzz/objs/ftsystem.lo - a libtool object file
  # Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.5.6 (1.1220.2.94 2004/04/10 16:27:27)
  #
  # Please DO NOT delete this file!
  # It is necessary for linking the library.

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

  # Name of the non-PIC object.
