Not so bad... but I don't know how many of them require rebuild
(probably a few ones only).

$ rpm -q --whatrequires freetype | wc -l
69

$ rpm -q --whatrequires freetype | xargs rpm -ql | grep '/bin\|/lib' | xargs grep 'ftc_\|FTC_\|FT_LruList\|ft_char_table\|TwoByteSwap\|FourByteSwap\|RepadBitmap\|BitOrderInvert'
Binary file /usr/lib/libfreetype.so matches
Binary file /usr/lib/mozilla/components/libgfx_gtk.so matches
Binary file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so.1.5 matches
Binary file /usr/X11R6/bin/X matches
Binary file /usr/X11R6/bin/Xdmx matches
Binary file /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg matches
Binary file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so matches

libXfont and X* servers are just false positives (they define *ByteSwap
on their own). The only one package which requires rebuild of 69 that
I have is mozilla.
