[ft-devel] "libtool: error: 'ftsystem.lo' is not a valid libtool object" when compiling for Android

[address@hidden]

Hi, i'm trying to compile freetype for Android (arm-linux-androideabi-gcc), because is needed for an app i'm trying to port (it says undefined reference) (the app is the darkplaces engine)

When i try to compile freetype 2.6, after executing the ./configure script, at a certain point it shows this error:

libtool:   error: '/home/kezio/freetype-2.6/objs/ftsystem.lo' is not a valid libtool object

I tried with different sdk, this is with crystax but it doesn't work with the default ndk too.

if i make with the normal gcc it doesn't give errrors, if i use the android arm one it wont compile.

I found on Google similar problems, refering to this as a bug, but the answers werent adequate for this case...

I don't know what to do.

Here's the complete output when trying to make again:
