I did not see this; I built a distribution last night and an update
distribution this morning, then an update release on top of that and it
has not built freetype again..

however,

% grep '===>.*freetype' build.log
obj ===> external/mit/xorg/lib/freetype
obj ===> external/mit/xorg/lib/freetype/freetype
obj ===> external/mit/xorg/lib/freetype/freetype/config

install ===> external/mit/xorg/lib/freetype/freetype

it descends into the freetype directory more than once; this is likely
because it builds this first as a lib, then just passes through while
building xorg ..
