Summary:                    fontconfig compilations sometimes failed with
parallel build
Description: 
fontconfig is affected by a compile bug that only occurs from time to time
when parallel compilation is enabled. The bug is described at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16464.

The attached patch includes the fix for fontconfig in buildroot. However,
it modifies a Makefile.am file, so running automake is needed, but I'm not
sure Buildroot will do that automatically (as the bug only occurs
sometimes, it's quite hard to test whether the fix properly works or
not).

After testing, it seems that patching Makefile.am is not sufficient to
re-run automake.

What should be done in this case ? Provide a patch that also fixes the
generated Makefile ? Run automake before compiling fontconfig ?
