Thanks.  We once had the following in xftfont.c:

  #ifndef FC_LCD_FILTER
    /* Older fontconfig versions don't have FC_LCD_FILTER. */
  #define FC_LCD_FILTER "lcdfilter"
  #endif

But it got moved to ftfont.c when a function which used it was moved
there.  However, since xftfont.c still uses this, I think we should
have this #define in xftfont.c as well, so please try adding that at
the beginning of xftfont.c, and see if that helps.
