Hi, thanks for the quick responce. Turns out that this is a bug in gcc. By 
default freetype builds with the -O2 option, needs to be -O0. Apparently this 
is fixed in newer versions of gcc, I'm using "3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)".

It looks like other programs such as KDE and Mozilla don't tread on this bug. 
Well, if its true that ldd doesn't lie.

Cheers
