Okay I got it to work using this French post.

./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/freetype2"
make

Me too, I got it trying to make a ps2 game:
cd $HOME/open-ps2-loader && make clean && git pull && make rebuild && cd $HOME

Can confirm that the bug remains at this time and that the proposed solution works, i suspect adding this to the configure thing would solve it for good but have never worked on that
