Well, it's a bit confusing to me without actually running configure 
myself, but I can't tell if fontconfig really actually use 
autoconf/automake/libtool "the right way", or if instead it merely uses 
them to generate a JamFile for the 'jam' package building tool.

Well, that's either (a) a warning that the relevant libtool link command 
line does not contain the "-no-undefined" flag, which indicates that the 
maintainer asserts that the library will have no undefined symbols at 
link time, or (b) an indication that, contrary to expectations, the 
library DID have undefined symbols at link time.

When I get a chance, I'll download your source and see what I can make 
of it.  Ping me if you don't hear in a few days.
