Since 4.3.99.6, the freetype2 in X11R6 cannot be compiled against. The reason is that freetype-config provides a bad linker option:

% /usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config --libs
-Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfreetype

The Apple linker crashes, because the "-R" option is unknown.
This comes from a patch introduced on 2003/05/05 into freetype-config.in. I think it should be removed for Darwin.
