Thank you.

It seems that Debian wheezy's `tex-gyre' package contains
TeX Gyre OTF files but no fontconfig conf files.

Perhaps, if you put

/etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-fonts-texgyre.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-texgyre.conf

files from jessie's `fonts-texgyre' package,
configure option `--with-texgyre-dir' will not be necessary.
