OK, digging into this freetype-config does in fact exist at:

$ find . -type f -name freetype-config
./output/host/usr/i586-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/bin/freetype-config

But $PATH and arguments $* on entry to configure for dvdauthor are:

/data/bcdist/test/buildroot/output/host/bin:/data/bcdist/test/buildroot/output/host/sbin:/data/bcdist/test/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin:/data/bcdist/test/buildroot/output/host/usr/sbin:/bcdist/bin:/home/steve/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

--target=i586-buildroot-linux-gnu --host=i586-buildroot-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --program-prefix= --disable-gtk-doc --disable-doc --disable-docs
--disable-documentation --with-xmlto=no --with-fop=no --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-ipv6 --disable-debug --disable-static --enable-shared

So for some reason 'usr/i586-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/' is missing in the middle of the search paths inside of buildroot

How is $(STAGING_DIR) normally set/passed to configure? I could probably just force the correct freetype-config
but it looks like there is something deeper wrong and I'd rather get to the bottom and fix it "properly".

Thanks - Steve
