Dear Sir,

Great Thank you for checking the cross compiling feature of
freetype2, I'm the author of the part you fixed.

Sorry, "${build-gcc}" is completely my mistake, it should
be "${build}-gcc". I will commit your fix within 24 hours,
please wait.

Your fix is correct, but I think yet I don't receive the
bug report about this (if somebody reported and I overlooked
it, I'm very sorry). I was thinking that cross building
feature of freetype-2.2.x and later is not used popularly,
because there are too many legacy programs using freetype
internal headers which cannot build with freetype-2.2.x
and later don't install.
