The png failures should be fixed in freetype-2.5.0.1.

  24 Oct 2013; Mark Wright <gienah@gentoo.org> freetype-2.5.0.1.ebuild:
  if use png, then sed freetype2.pc to add the png lib, to fix bug 487646.


Since modern udev does not support static libs, you will need to disable the device-mapper use flag if you want to build static grub.
