This is probably the kind of bug you should report directly to the developers of fontconfig, since it's they who'll have to figure out how to fix it.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It looks like tigerbrew encountered this problem too, and already developed a patch and sent it to the fontconfig developers: ​https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew/issues/28

We also encountered this problem with sqlite3 last year: #32930

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Fixed using tigerbrew's patch in r105599.
