There is little we can do with so few information regarding your system.
Here are a few suggestions however:

- the first thing to try is to undefined the #define FT_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY
  macro within <include/freetype/config/ftoption.h>, rebuild and
  re-install the library. Please report if this improves the situation

- the problem might come from the fact that one of Pango, FontConfig
  or LibXft access internal FreeType structures that have changed in
  this release. Could you try to recompile these libraries to their
  latest versions and tell us if it solves anything.

  We're also interested in the version numbers of the installed
  versions of these libraries on your system
