 So, that apparently comes from freetype2's builtin.mk.
 
 When some builtin.mk fails to do its thing, the first thing to check is:
    % make show-var VARNAME=IS_BUILTIN.freetype2
    % make show-var VARNAME=USE_BUILTIN.freetype2
 
 (from pkgtools/x11-links, after making clean if necessary)
 
 If IS_BUILTIN is no, then the question is why it's not finding it; if
 USE_BUILTIN is no, the question is why it's rejecting it.
 
 Also, check to make sure that X11BASE is set correctly...
