I found only (empty) directories under /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2, and
deleted them. I wonder if any of the autoconf macros check for the existence
of a directory instead of a file. Hmm....

I rebuilt freetype2 before I deleted these directories, I will now rebuild Xft
(I don't have an Xft2 package) and mozilla. If mozilla continues to crash, I
will add the "user_pref("fonts.xft.enabled",false)" line to my prefs.js file
as Tom Lislegaard <toli@proact.no> suggested in <20030227114532.V385-100000@tom
.internal.proact.no>.
Hopefully I'm getting closer. It still feels like voodoo debugging though :-)
