If following conditions are matched, please try adding
"-no-undefined" to LDFLAGS in builds/unix/config.mk.

1) when libtool runs to build objs/libfreetype.la,
   you received a warning like

        libtool: warning: undefined symbols not allowed
        in i686-pc-cygwin shared libraries

2) objs/libfreeype.la, objs/.libs/libfreetype.a,
   objs/.libs/libfreetype.lai are created correctly.

If (1 & 2) are true, modify a line in builds/unix/config.mk,
from
                LDFLAGS := -z
to
                LDFLAGS := -z -no-undefined

Then, remove objs/libfreetype.la, and execute "make" again.

I remember "no-undefined" option issue had ever arised
in BeOS building (cygwin requires it, but it disables
BeOS shared library - I must check later).
