Debugging this stuff is a giant pain (IME you have to start stuffing
lines of the form "FOO!=echo foo 1>&2" into the builtin logic to see
what's reached) but the first and relatively easy thing to check is
what version of the builtin package it detects:

   make show-var VARNAME=BUILTIN_PKG.freetype2

because it's not uncommon for this to turn out to be rubbish, and then
none of the rest matters.
