WRT suite build fails for quite long time already: [1] So that probably was caused by the patch from Huw: [2] It may happen because of missing FreeType 2 stuff: [3]
If that's the case for us (Paul Millar), can it be worked around by adding another configure check, guys? Or it isn't worth an effort?

Yes. I tried to get a more recent version of FreeType, but the relevant SRPM I tried apparently uses a .spec format that only a newer version of rpm supported. So, I tried building the new version of rpm suffered the same problem.
Presumably there's a path to boot-strap to the new RPMs, but I think I'd be better off trying to get the new machine working.

Well, that depends when FT_Load_Sfnt_Table support was added. We can bracket it between v2.1.3 (which quis. has) and v2.1.9 (which Google says has the fn).
Cairo seems to have suffered the same problem: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4144
So, depending which versions of freetype2 different distros use, it might be worth testing for it. See: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=freetype2
There's a few other reports of similar problems on Mandrake 9.1, which apparently uses v2.1.5. SuSE 9.x using v2.1.7 or v2.1.9, so might get away with it. YMMV.
Cheers,
Paul.

Alexandre's just committed my patch to workaround FreeTypes without FT_Load_Sfnt_Table, so hopefully your next build will work.
Huw.
