so there is a limitation in depdendencies actually.. a big issue, let's 
see if withhout harfbuzz everything works.
I hate this king od packages, it isnot the only one :(

This would be a reason to "Build" always in a very small chroot. If we 
had a way to install (or make visibile) only the tree of the 
dependencies actually listed in the package, so configure scripts could 
not "pick up" anything by change

I actually noticed the issue also with other packages, where there are a 
lot of errors by just rebuilding.
I hope the breakage is not too big!

I think It might have been broken since quite a while? I was about to 
ask you right today why

https://www.opencsw.org/get-it/packages/

still lists old packages, while I uploaded several new days ago.
