+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.
