	for me it compiles just fine on:

NetBSD starfruit.itojun.org 1.5I NetBSD 1.5I (STARFRUIT) #261: Fri Nov  3 00:59:23 JST 2000     itojun@starfruit.itojun.org:/usr/home/itojun/NetBSD/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/STARFRUIT i386

	i looked at lines where your compilation failed, and i see nothing
	wrong.

	i guess (a wild, wild guess) you have very old freetype
	header files installed into /usr/pkg/include and you are having
	some conflict in definition.

>cc -c -O2 -I//usr/pkg/include -I//usr/pkg/include -I. -I.. -I/altroot/build/pkgobj/graphics/freetype-lib/work/freetype-1.3.1/lib/arch/unix/../.. -I/altroot/build/pkgobj/graphics/freetype-lib/work/freetype-1.3.1/lib/arch/unix/../../extend /altroot/build/

	the command line tries to pull in header files from /usr/pkg/include,
	before the freetype build directory.
