This came up a while back, probably on another list...

XQuartz had to change the install location due to 10.11 not allowing installation to /usr/X11, so our configure script should be updated to also check in /opt/X11 now. I don't know if a bug was ever filed for this or not.

To answer the earlier question: Yes, freetype is required for OpenJDK builds on Mac.
