but adding special libs *are* what linker flags are for.

to me the issue here, is not that line, but where it is placed.

you do need to add linker/lib flag to QMAKE_LFLAGS_SHLIBS if you want
to link against freetype, and it's not placed where all the other
libraries are located.

so the fix isn't to remove that line, but to place it in a different
spot, so the extra path for linking are at the end, not at the
beginning
