I was able to build pango with the fix in my first eMail. As far as i see it
we seem to have two issues here:
        1) The Xrender package seems to be erratic when deciding which variant
           (package buit or from /usr/X11R6) to pick. Possibly due to external
           version requirements.
        2) When the /usr/X11R6 version is chosen the buildlink step misses to
           create the appropriate .la file in the buildlink directory.

All reports in this thread relate to build problems created by 2). Thus we should
fix that issue first. pango builds with 0.8.3 (from /usr/X11R6) fine. I haven't
run it yet but don't actually expect problems there.
