I have this patch lying around:
uclibc.org/~aldot/buildroot/package_fontconfig_host-tools.patch
it's ment to be put into package/fonctconfig/host-tools.patch
and needs a patch ontop of that that does an autoreconf.
I don't need fontconfig and will not finish the patch above, so do
whatever you want.

Perhaps that gets you started (i don't remember if that fixed fontconfig
for me as a whole or if it was just one part of the mess). But remember
that ultimatively, fontconfig should be fixed upstream..
