Let's start with the real reason I looked at fontconfig: it needs an elibtoolize call to work fine on Gentoo/FreeBSD (where fine is intended as "it does name the libraries the linux way instead of the fbsd's one that breaks every and all the binaries linking to it").

A part that, I've seen it hardcoding /usr/X11R6 paths, shouldn't that be dropped as all Xorg in tree is in /usr since a long time?

Still having /usr/X11R6 paths can create problems whenever /usr/X11R6 is dropped.

I don't think we will drop the link anytime soon X11R6->lib ? 

Anyway, it's a relic of ancient times where we had to make sure we compiled against the freetype libs we wanted iirc, so it can be dropped if you make your changes.
