Phil is correct. For a while, we had such a bug, and depending on which 
forest you are building, it may still be there for you.

If freetype is installed in the system, and needed for the build, 
configure is supposed to pick it up by itself. If you have time, please 
try the build-infra forest and see if it works properly for you there.
