So you want the autohinter to be never used? Then you dont need to link
it. Comment out the line

FT_USE_MODULE(autohint_module_class)

in config/ftmodule.h and rebuild (here this works as expected).
In source code the only possibility I'm aware of is (untested)

if ( !FT_DRIVER_HAS_HINTER( face->driver ) )
  flags |= FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING;
