The ft-build/Makefile is not the interesting one: by the time make is
invoked here it already has the bad arguments.

The makefile we want is the one that invoked this make, with the bad
arguments; from your build:

  make[3]: Entering directory 
'/home/kbrown/src/texlive/test.x86_64/Work/libs/freetype2'
  rm -rf ft-build
  /usr/bin/mkdir -p ft-build
  cd ft-build && \
    CC='gcc' CONFIG_SITE=/dev/null CONFIG_SHELL='/bin/sh' \
    /bin/sh 
/home/kbrown/src/texlive/test.x86_64/Work/libs/freetype2/../../../libs/freetype2/freetype-src/configure
 \
       --disable-shared \
      --without-bzip2 \
      --without-brotli \
      --without-harfbuzz \
      --without-png \
      --without-zlib \
      
--prefix=/home/kbrown/src/texlive/test.x86_64/Work/libs/freetype2/ft-install \
      --libdir=/home/kbrown/src/texlive/test.x86_64/Work/libs/freetype2 \
      --includedir=/home/kbrown/src/texlive/test.x86_64/Work/libs/freetype2

so, the makefile we want is the makefile in freetype2 that contains the
recipe that invokes the make command in the ft-build subdirectory.
