Description Dan Winship 2011-02-15 15:53:00 UTC
The changes to binutils in rawhide break detection of Xft in tk:

    checking whether to use xft... yes
    checking for X11/Xft/Xft.h... yes
    checking for FT_New_Face in -lXft... no

config.log:

    configure:8315: checking for FT_New_Face in -lXft
    configure:8340: gcc -o conftest -g -pipe  -I/usr/include/freetype2     -Wl,--export-dynamic  conftest.c -lXft   -lXft   -lX11 >&5
    /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccCNLRGl.o: undefined reference to symbol 'FT_New_Face'
    /usr/bin/ld: note: 'FT_New_Face' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line

A simple fix for our package would be to just patch out the "make sure that linking against Xft libraries finds freetype" check, but I'm not sure that's correct for upstream.
