MinGW list will just send the problem back to the library developers.
I used to be very involved in giving support on that list.  I'll
attempt to debug it further when I have time to and see if I can come
up with a work-around or figure out what's changed between the
different versions of freetype.  I mainly wanted to know if it was a
bug or a desired result so I'd know how to proceed when I attempt to
fix or work around it.

I have later versions of GNU autotools I've built from source that I
can try.  I also have latest version of GNU make currently installed.
If the older version of freetype works and the newer doesn't with the
same set of tools, it doesn't sound like the tools that are causing
the issue.

Thanks.
