it should work in my case, since i explicitely built freetype and ftgl
as static-only (--disable-shared); so there is no libftgl.dylib anywhere
to be found and thus the linker will be forced to do static linking.

otoh, i just noticed that my built failed again (at least, the binary
was not useable)
tweaking around with the .la files can fix the problem, but of course
this is no real solution.

otoh, if you build freetype and FTGL like normal (enabling (or: not
disabling) the building of a shared lib), the "-lftgl -lfreetype" should
work fine
however, this will make your Gem depend on freetype/FTGL being installed
on the target system (which might be ok for your machine, but is
suboptimal for distributable binaries)
