Ok, so this is really hairy to figure out. I tried a lot of stuff on and
off, so I'm not sure whether the following is completely accurate and I
found it out more by empirical than methodical research:

099b_Xft_FreeType_2.1.7_build_fix.diff does not touch
xc/lib/font/Freetype/ftfuncs.c although that file would need the same
kind of fixes I believe.

The error occurs when building the static xserver:

The build goes on and later fails when linking XFree86:

gcc -o XFree86 [...]
../../lib/font/libXfont.a -lfreetype dix/libxpstubs.a -lfreetype -lz -lm
-Wl,-rpath-link=../../exports/lib
gcc: ../../lib/font/libXfont.a: No such file or directory

make[5]: Leaving directory
`/home/mbanck/xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1.current/build-tree/xc-xserver-xfree86-dbg/programs/Xserver'

However, grepping through a xfree86 build log on GNU/Linux, I can't
really tell what makes the difference here, ftfuncs.c seems to get
compiled both by the shared and static XServer on GNU/Hurd and
GNU/Linux. So I'm not sure what exactly was the cause, but at some point
I was quite certain that defining the above variable helped :-/
