Since bug 333640. Backing that out in configure.in and autoconf2.13'ing fixes issue. I haven't noticed any related runtime issues previously. Debian testing/unstable. Trunk firefox, defaults. Running failing commands with -lfreetype is successful.

My build logs up to 2006-02-23 say
    checking MOZ_XFT_LIBS... -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXft -lfreetype -lz -lXrender -lX11 -lfontconfig
and from 2006-02-27 onward
    checking MOZ_XFT_LIBS... -lXft -lfontconfig
though I can't say for sure if I've changed configurations between those dates.

I might want to try blaming
    dpkg.log.2.gz:2006-02-23 12:01:42 upgrade libxft-dev 2.1.7-1 2.1.8.2-3
and http://bugs.debian.org/349803 though that's mostly shooting in the dark by word association.

More shooting in the dark:

libxft-dev 2.1.7-1 xft.pc (has no Libs.private):
Libs: -L${libdir} -lXft -lX11 ${freetypelibs} ${xrenderlibs}

libxft-dev 2.1.8.2-5.1 xft.pc:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lXft
Libs.private: -lX11 ${xrenderlibs} ${freetypelibs}

That is, currently
$ pkg-config --libs xft
-lXft -lfontconfig
$ pkg-config --libs --static xft
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXft -lX11 -lfreetype -lfontconfig

I had a similar compile failure trying to compile trunk SeaMonkey.

The PS module needs some symbols from libfreetype. After fixing that, I encountered the same problem in gfx/src/gtk. I haven't seen any bugs about the gtk issue so this patch fixes both makefiles. Unfortunately I won't be able to actually test the resulting builds until this evening, but this allows the build to complete.

Patch posted does allow SeaMonkey trunk to compile.
