I don't see
   /opt/csw/lib/libfreetype.so
   /opt/csw/lib/libiconv.so
   /opt/csw/lib/libexpat.so
explicitly included here, nor does it have -lfreetype -liconv - 
lexpat, nor -lz. So I think this must be a libtool issue; it's  
looking at fontconfig and adding fontconfig's dependencies into the  
link command it runs.

Do you have a libtool library for fontconfig installed (/opt/csw/lib/ 
libfontconfig.la), or is there just a .so file there?

OK, that's good to know. Wish I knew how to control that libtool  
command better!
