Hmmm, while only knowing a little about gd, it looks to me like one of the
following (perhaps):
 - missing a #include they need
 - wrong version of the truetype library (missing symbols)
 - possible satanic possession

I would recommend finding the recomended version of freetype for gd and
compiling with that. Failing that, mail the gd development mailing list...
