This is a problem with the X11 headers picking up an old version of 
freetype (freetype1 not freetyp2). There are a few ways to fix this:

1. Add -I/usr/include/freetype2 to config.make in the gnustep-back 
directory (I'm not positive this will work).
2. Uninstall freetype1
3. Move the freetype 1 headers out of the way (probably in 
/usr/include/freetype)
