Humm... as much as building a freetype application tells us that the
libraries work, I'm wondering if we could just do something like this
in the makefile sanity check:

ifdef OPENJDK
   FREETYPE_VERSION_H=$(FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH)/freetype/freetype.h
   _FREETYPE_VER := \
     if [ -f "${FREETYPE_VERSION_H}" ] ; then \
       _major="`${GREP} 'define FREETYPE_MAJOR' | ${CUT} -d' ' -f3`" ; \
       _minor="`${GREP} 'define FREETYPE_MINOR' | ${CUT} -d' ' -f3`" ; \
       _micro="`${GREP} 'define FREETYPE_PATCH' | ${CUT} -d' ' -f3`" ; \
       $(ECHO) "${_major}.${_minor}.${_micro}"; \
     else \
       $(ECHO) "0.0.0"; \
     fi
   FREETYPE_VER :=$(call GetVersion,"$(_FREETYPE_VER)")
   FREETYPE_CHECK :=$(call CheckVersions,$(FREETYPE_VER),$(REQUIRED_FREETYPE_VERSION))

sane-freetype:
@if [ "$(FREETYPE_CHECK)" != "same" -a "$(FREETYPE_CHECK)" != "newer" ]; then \
$(ECHO) "ERROR: The version of freetype being used is older than \n" \
" the required version of '$(REQUIRED_FREETYPE_VERSION)'. \n" \
" The version of freetype found was '$(FREETYPE_VER)'. \n" \
"" >> $(ERROR_FILE) ; \
fi

else

#do nothing (not OpenJDK)
sane-freetype:

endif

Just a thought.... Then that whole freetype check program can go away,
but if the libraries are wrong, we won't find out at sanity check time.

(I have not tested the above logic)
