Ah. User error, although it did work with 2.11.1
Adjusted the configure and it works OK with version 2.12.1

Subject: release 2.12.1 causes fontconfig to fail to build (with 2.11.1
fontconfig builds OK)
Hello. I cross-compile freetype_lib under ubuntu with target win x64, as a part
of cross-compiling ffmpeg.
Freetype release 2.11.1 cross-compiles OK of itself.
Freetype release 2.12.1 cross-compiles OK of itself.
However ... using exactly the same build script with configure for 2.11.1 and
2.12.1 and with configure:
./configure
--with-sysroot="/home/u/Desktop/_working/workdir/toolchain/x86_64-w64-mingw32"
--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
--prefix=/home/u/Desktop/_working/workdir/toolchain/x86_64-w64-mingw32/x86_64-w64-mingw32
--disable-shared --enable-static
--build=x86_64-linux-gnu
--with-zlib=/home/u/Desktop/_working/workdir/toolchain/x86_64-w64-mingw32/x86_64-w64-mingw32
--with-harfbuzz=no ' in '/home/u/Desktop/_working/workdir/x86_64/freetype-2.12.1
with Freetype release 2.11.1 the full build completes successfully.
with Freetype release 2.12.1 the full build aborts during building fontconfig.
So, in it seems that release 2.12.1 has introduced some incompatibility which
causes other products to fail to build, in this case
fontconfig as one dependency when cross-compiling the ubiquitous ffmpeg
video/audo manipulation tool.
Relevant area of log appears below when buildingg fontconfig:
