Yes.  Probably one of the known cross compilation issues in Libtool.
Still some questions, to be sure:

- Where is the libfontconfig that should have been used?
- How exactly did you configure the package?
- Output of ../libtool --config?  ../libtool --version?
- Does linking work if you temporarily move /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so
  out of the way (given that you have superuser permissions)?

Cheers,
Ralf
