To avoid the SEGV, run fc-cache as: HOME=/ fc-cache >btw. I downloading it from anoncvs and then "make World". I recommend just using the upstream fontconfig instead. It's easier to stay current that way, and to update it separately. Wouldn't hurt of course though to update the included fontconfig also, it does have many stability, performance and other improvements. Might be considered too late at this point though, but most Linux and other OS distributions I think ship the newer fontconfigs for quite a while now, so it shouldn't be too hard to find prebuilt packages for many OS's also.
