No, it was always enabled, but built wrongly as we don't have all the
hints at the start.

I finally got the freetype2-demos to work with callgrind, but many of
the calls have no debug label. In fact, it seems like the demos are
linking to my system-provided libfreetype instead of the git devel
one, hence no debug information. I'm trying to fix that right now.

I have noticed that FT_DivFix (and it's callees) account for a decent
proportion of the runtime, around 18% or so.
