Hi :)
 I was  getting this type of errors when building an arm images with Xorg:


  CC     xftswap.lo
  CC     xftxlfd.lo
  CCLD   libXft.la
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libXft.la] Error 1

I was able to correct the problem adding this line to the package definition
file xlib_libXfont.mk:
XLIB_LIBXFONT_CONF_ENV = FREETYPE_LIBS=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib

and also to xlib_libXft.mk:
XLIB_LIBXFT_CONF_ENV = FREETYPE_LIBS=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib


Thanks a lot for this great piece of software.
