configure checks where the pfb files for Century Schoolbook are,
and assumes that the afm files are in the same directory.
Which fails if the given file is a link the real pfb file
(in some other direcotory):

  $ fc-match --verbose 'Century Schoolbook L:style=Italic' | grep file:
          file: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c059033l.pfb"(s)
  $ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c059033l.*  
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 53 Nov 29 12:20 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c059033l.pfb -> 
../../../../../share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/c059033l.pfb
  $ ls -l /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/c059033*
  -rw-r--r--  1 root root  43546 Apr  3  2005 
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/c059033l.afm
  -rw-r--r--  1 root root 113732 Apr  3  2005 
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/c059033l.pfb

Attached patch solves that (still assuming that the afm is in the same 
directory as the "real" pfb file).

One could possible do the same for the
"./configure --with-ncsb-dir=..." case.

        * configure.in: resolve symlinks for pfb-files, to be able to 
        find its afm file.
