Hi Werner - are you talking about freetype2 here, or pango?  AFAICT the 
only source files getting generated / preprocessed are 'config.h.win32' 
and 'pango-features.h' (both from pango).  Nothing gets preprocessed for 
freetype2, unless I'm missing something.

As an aside, I restored a recent backup of freetype2 (made on 3rd Jan 
2016).  After restoring that previous version, everything builds okay 
again.  So that's a pretty good indication that this is due to a recent 
change in freetype2.  I also tried changing this at line 541 of 
'pango/pangoft2.c':-

      static const ft_error_description ft_errors[] =

Just as an experiment I changed it to this:-

      static const ft_error_description ft_errors[256];

Needless to say, I wouldn't expect that to work properly - but it does 
fix the compilation problem (i.e. another indication that the error lies 
in 'fterrors.h').  Hope that helps,

John
