Please always try the lastest FreeType version.  If compilation still
fails, please retry with HEAD of current git.  Version 2.9 is more
than three years old; we probably have fixed this bug meanwhile (if it
is a bug at all).

The `file` utility program is your friend.  Search the file
`libfreetype.x.y.z` in directory `/usr/sfw/lib` and type

  file libfreetype.x.y.z

(where x, y, and z are numbers).  The result should be something like

  libfreetype.so.6.18.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64,
    version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked,
    BuildID[sha1]=bfdfb36d89aa74c2d91f3b9e0f624db90470d0db,
    with debug_info, not stripped

If the problem persists please send the file `builds/unix/config.log`
(as a compressed attachment) for further investigation.
