As someone who got burned by Zach Drayer's build (which subsequently breaks Mike Kronenberg's build, despite it working perfectly before), I think I've found the cause of the issue. Drayer's build dumps a lot of FreeType crap into the hidden /usr/local folder. Nuking everything in there (the only other thing I had was MacFUSE, easily replaceable) did the trick, and Mike's build works once again.
