oops the actual line is:
$ sed -i 's/-L${libdir} -lfontconfig[^l]*$/-L${libdir} -lfontconfig
-lfreetype -lexpat/' "$PKG_CONFIG_PATH/fontconfig.pc"

basically fontconfig (for some bizarre reason) expects you to call
pkg-config --static --libs fontconfig (FFmpeg calls it like pkg-config
--libs--which doesn't include everything needed for static).  I had
some chatting here on the mailing list and with the fontconfig
people--we didn't reach a concensus as to who was wrong here :)

So that hack adds some dependencies to the fontconfig "pkg config"
file so that ffmpeg picks them up.
HTH.
