when build xfree86(4.5.0) from source,

this can trigger out all sort of problems when compiling other

as well as xlibs(xrender, xext etc.)
how do you think about this?
The build system already addresses this. You can override the default build
with settings in xc/config/cf/host.def. For freetype2, "#define HasFreetype2
YES" to build with a pre-installed library. You might also need to tweak
Freetype2Dir if the background library & includes aren't installed in
/usr/{lib,include}.
HasFontconfig & FontconfigDir serve a similar purpose for fontconfig.
