I've read the latest changelog of xfree:
* Fix default library build defines to not build the (X)Render,
Xft, Xft1, or Xcursor libraries if BuildLibraries is not "YES".
This prevents gratuitous library builds when, e.g.,
BuildServersOnly is set to YES. Clarify and improve related
patch annotation. Also, fix the Imake configuration for Debian
GNU/Linux, the Hurd, and GNU/FreeBSD to not force
BuildXft1Library to YES unconditionally. These changes resolve a
FTBFS in environments where libext-dev is not installed, since
the Xft1 library was getting gratuitously built during the
debugging server build, and couldn't find the Xext library to
link against. As a minor bonus, this should speed the build up a
little, since a library that isn't needed is no longer being
built.
Does that fix your bug?

Well, I don't understand too much about the whole story. It wouldn't
be very helpful.
Thanks anyway,
