Why do you need FreeType 1.3?  Due to the modular design of FreeType
2.x you probably get a smaller library because you can deactivate all
unneeded stuff.  Besides this, version 1.x is no longer supported.

Normally this is controlled with the --host, --build, and --target
options of the configure script.  I can't remember whether version 1.x
supports cross compiling.
