That's not a FreeType failure. If you export LDFLAGS+="-dylib_file / 
System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/ 
libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/ 
Libraries/libGL.dylib" before doing configure that should fix it.

Though I haven't had to do this recently. Maybe you have an old  
version of XCode installed?
