Sorry for the proliferating posts.

Maybe freetype-config could also spoil the party, in that the linker 
arguments it produces affect -lfontconfig on the linker command line. 
Same could go for pkg-config, if it produces -L/usr/lib (or anything 
like that) because of other packages.

If you check the command that fails in the make output, you should see 
the order in which -L arguments are supplied; the directory where your 
custom fontconfig is should appear early on.

If not, maybe --extra-ldflags='-L/your/fontconfig/dir' could provide a 
solution.
