Build failing on Mac OS X 10.12.5

[Rohit Vaidya]

Hello Experts,

I was running a fresh JDK 9 build on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.5.
"$sh configure" fails with freetype dependency. On installing freetype with
brew it still continues to fail.

configure: error: Could not find freetype! You might be able to fix this by
running 'brew install freetype'.

/Users/rohitvaidya/Downloads/projects/9dev/common/autoconf/generated-configure.sh:
line 82: 5: Bad file descriptor
configure exiting with result code 1

Has anyone faced this before?
