Yep, I spent some time on this makefile and it seems incomplete.
ie :


$(FREETYPE_LIB):
        $(CP) $(FREETYPE_LIB_PATH)/$(LIB_PREFIX)freetype.$(LIBRARY_SUFFIX) $@
endif

This goal make me think copy of Freetype library was planned, but need
some more tweaking.

ifeq ($(PLATFORM), windows)
    FREETYPE_LIB = $(LIB_LOCATION)/$(LIB_PREFIX)freetype.$(LIBRARY_SUFFIX)
    OTHER_LDLIBS += $(FREETYPE_LIB_PATH)/freetype.lib
else
  ifeq ($(USING_SYSTEM_FT_LIB), false)
    FREETYPE_LIB = $(LIB_LOCATION)/$(LIB_PREFIX)freetype.$(LIBRARY_SUFFIX).6
  endif
  OTHER_LDLIBS += -L$(FREETYPE_LIB_PATH) -lfreetype
endif

...

#
# Libraries to link, and other C flags.
#

ifeq ($(PLATFORM), macosx))
OTHER_INCLUDES += -I$(X11_PATH)/include
OTHER_LDLIBS  += -lawt $(LIBM) $(LIBCXX)
 ifeq ($(OS_VENDOR),Apple)
   # XXXDARWIN Match BSD/Linux behavior -- the mawt.dylib symbols will
   # be available at runtime.
   OTHER_LDLIBS += -undefined dynamic_lookup
 endif
else
ifeq ($(PLATFORM), solaris)
  # Note that on Solaris, fontmanager is built against the headless library.
  LDFLAGS      += -L$(LIBDIR)/$(LIBARCH)/headless
  OTHER_LDLIBS += -lawt -L$(LIBDIR)/$(LIBARCH)/xawt -lmawt -lc $(LIBM) $(LIBCXX)
else # PLATFORM is linux
 OTHER_LDLIBS  += -lawt $(LIBM) $(LIBCXX)
  ifeq ("$(CC_VER_MAJOR)", "3")
    OTHER_LDLIBS  += -Wl,-Bstatic -lgcc_eh -Wl,-Bdynamic
  endif
endif
endif

Makefile may need some cleanup to split it between using system FT lib
and copying (embedding) provided external FT LIB (via
ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH and ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH)

It will be clearer by using 2 vars.

One exist, USING_SYSTEM_FT_LIB, new one could be EMBEDDING_EXTERNAL_FT_LIB.
