garnome-0.9.7: freetype won't compile

[student <c938218 student dtu dk>]

Hi all,

I am having problems with freetype under Mandrake 8.1, and have had in
all versions I've tried (since 0.8.6).

Since I've hit this repeatedly and have a fairly standard setup I think
it is worth solving or explaining in the README, so please bear with me
as the novice I am :)

It seems like a problem in the freetype build system - please see the
dump posted below.

The garnome README states that one should have a "sane" GNU toolchain - 
does that imply NOT running gcc 2.96 as I am?

 Regards, Jan...
