Fontconfig - Dec 2007 - build fails on x86_64 because of bad libtool RUNPATH order (FcFini)

Compiling fontconfig on an NFS volume used by nodes on a compute grid, the build
fails with the following error:

make[2]: Entering directory
`/path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/test''
Fontconfig warning: line 3: unknown element "cachedir"
/path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/fc-list/.libs/lt-fc-list:
symbol lookup error:
/path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/fc-list/.
libs/lt-fc-list: undefined symbol: FcFini
Fontconfig warning: line 3: unknown element "cachedir"

It turns out that the libtool execution wrapper fc-list has explicitly added
/usr/lib64 in front of
/path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/src/.libs causing
lt-fc-list to find an older libfontconfig.so.  Here is the relevant snippet from
fc-list (part of the relink_command variable):

gcc -m64 -g -O2 -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/path/to/lib -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -o
\$progdir/\$file fc-list.o -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/path/to/freetype-2.3.5/lib 
-L/path/to/lib -L/path/to/freetype-2.3.5/lib
/path/to/freetype-2.3.5/lib/libfreetype.so -lz /usr/lib64/libexpat.so
../src/.libs/libfontconfig.so  -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/path/to/freetype-2.3.5/lib
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64 -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/src/.libs -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/path/to/freetype-2.3.5/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64 -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/path/to/fontconfig-2.5.0/lib

What is the best way fix/hack around this problem?

Where did you get that error? Is that from "./configure; make"?

And what is your enviroment ( CPU, compiler version, libtool version ( ld!!!!)

It may be different from your environment but I under my system:

Solaris 10, Sparc 64, gcc 3.4.6 ( from sunfreeware ),
/libtool-1.5.24-sol10-sparc-local

the error in the OP could not be reproduced.
