In the commit description, would be great to say that the
parallel-compilation-fix patch is no longer necessary since it has been
merged upstream at

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=0e21b5a4d5609a5dd0f332b412d878b6f1037d29

so that people reviewing your patch can easily understand why it's no
longer necessary.

A patch has been committed upstream that intends to fix some
cross-compilation issues:

 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=2a6b235ff6d2750171e8dff7cfdfe3bccb0f630e

but it is not part of fontconfig-2.8.0. Does it solve all problems
fixed by the use_for_build patch ? If so, I'd prefer to see an already
upstreamed patch used in Buildroot, with the proper comment mentionning
that the next version of fontconfig will include this fix.

Thanks!

Thomas
