That would be because the configure script didn't find the libraries -
I assume, since the configure script normally tries to check for those.
It looks for xft-config (the script that tells how to compile/link).
Perhaps that has been renamed?

I think I had another xft-config in /opt/... without actually having libXft and friends in the path that that script pointed to. I have uninstalled those test packages now (which were modifying the PATH through profile.d scripts) and the rebuild of 185-4 seemed to find libXft and friends just fine.
