You always rebuild the freetype2 package, to do soedit the .spec file,
in the section %prep add this:

perl -pi -e 's|#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER|/\*
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER  \*/|'
include/freetype/config/ftoption.h


dont forget to also increase Release to avoid conflicts with existant
freetype2, and then build the package.
