Actually the libfreetype.a in the source tree gets linked as expected.
The extra dependencies listed above (and they are there in the 32-bit
builds too, w/o the /64/ of course) are due to libfontconfig.  If those
builds from Solaris 10 are run on Solaris 11, the libraries will be
found under /usr/lib, so it doesn't appear to be a concern.  On the
other hand---and that was the reason for the initiating this
thread---the question is whether one can reasonably expect /usr/sfw to
be present in all or most Solaris 10 installations.
