Yes. And therefore I want to delegate this to ld to link those  
libraries that exist twice statically when I have control which  
library gets used. And since the information about the libraries to  
link comes from PC files, I need to patch them somehow.


In more detail: the version of libfontconfig in /usr/X11R6 is too old  
to be used by GNU Emacs, it misses some API elements (FC_WIDTH and  
FC_WEIGHT_REGULAR – or is it from libfreetype?), so that GNU Emacs  
cannot be compiled. So in this case I have to use the other  
libfontconfig (or libfreetype).
