Description phkb 2020-08-01 22:51:03 UTC 
When freetype is emerged (cross-emerged, mingw) without USE=static-libs, the .dll.a file is missing (but it is needed to be able to link with the dll). With USE=static-libs, the file is present.

I hit this bug while emerging fontconfig, which needs to link with freetype.
