[I've reported this in the fontconfig bugzilla also.]
This very line in configure.in is the problem:
fc_cachedir=`eval echo "${localstatedir}/cache/"${PACKAGE}`
In the `configure' script created with autoconf 2.63 (and probably
other versions too), if the `--prefix' command line option is not
given, the value of `$localstatedir' is not correctly expanded yet;
`$prefix' is still `NONE'. This leads to compilation commands like
../doltcompile gcc \
... \
-DFC_CACHEDIR='"NONE/var/cache/fontconfig"' \
...
and to
<cachedir>NONE/var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir>
in /usr/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
Until this has been fixed in the sources, a simple workaround is to
always call configure's `--prefix' option.
