the --extrainc is a good idea. the headers may as well be changed.  
given the compilation succeeds this may not be the case, but it's  
still better to do that too.

there's the problem: you have to specify that in every application  
which needs freetype and fontconfig. you may decide to update  
fontconfig in /usr/local solving the problem altogether.

about installing libfreetype in /usr/X11R6: this may not be a good  
idea, because (even if the libraries do have proper version  
informations and version links) a software update may revert links  
and/or perform changes that may result in very difficult to track  
behaviors.
