    Description

      The freetype and fontconfig configure test does not pass when cross compiling because they will attempt to use the host system's version of freetype. This happens because in both the freetype and fontconfig tests they both use the file freetype.pri:

      !cross_compile {
          TRY_INCLUDEPATHS = /include /usr/include $$QMAKE_INCDIR $$QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 $$INCLUDEPATH
          # LSB doesn't allow using headers from /include or /usr/include
          linux-lsb-g++:TRY_INCLUDEPATHS = $$QMAKE_INCDIR $$QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 $$INCLUDEPATH
          haiku:TRY_INCLUDEPATHS += /system/develop/headers
          for(p, TRY_INCLUDEPATHS) {
              p = $$join(p, "", "", "/freetype2")
              exists($$p):INCLUDEPATH *= $$p
          }
      } else {
         # If we are cross-compiling, then there is still a remote possibility that
         # configure detected font-config & freetype,  stored in these variables.
         QMAKE_CFLAGS += $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_FONTCONFIG
         QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_FONTCONFIG
      }
      

      But even when a cross compiler is being used the cross_compile == false when this is evaluated.
