Details:

Debian will remove the freetype-config script from the libfreetype6-dev
package as it doesn't support multiarch properly and its output is incorrect
on foreign architectures. I'm not sure if this change will remain
Debian-specific or is going to be merged by freetype upstream at some point.

The attached patch uses PKG_CHECK_MODULES to obtain freetype's CFLAGS/LIBS
which is basically equivalent.

Follow-up Comment #1:

I did apply your change to configure.ac but regenerated the configure file
myself. There seems to be a new command runstatedir in your configure file
that is unrelated to this change.

Thank you for the patch!
Fred

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #52941 (project gnustep):

Thanks. FYI, the runstatedir stuff comes from Debian's autoconf package which
has the runstatedir patch from autoconf.git upstream (it's going to be in
autoconf 2.70).
