As far as I have been able to tell with some limited git archaeology, it seems to have originated from Poky in the fontconfig-2.6.0 sort of timeframe but that's about all I have been able to find out. The actual content of the patch is: -Libs.private: @LIBXML2_LIBS@ @EXPAT_LIBS@ @FREETYPE_LIBS@ @ICONV_LIBS@ +Libs.private: @LIBXML2_LIBS@ @EXPAT_LIBS@ -L{libdir} -lfreetype @ICONV_LIBS@ ... which, as far as I can tell, is just completely bogus. The added "-L{libdir}" is causing cmake to blow up if it tries to inspect the private libs for fontconfig to anything that depends on it: it's arguably a bug in cmake that it can't tolerate {} there, but it seems fairly clear that this patch in its current form can't be producing any useful effect. p.
