I believe freetype is needed on Macosx so if that is missing in
README-builds.html, that's a bug.
I'm not a regular Macosx user so I might remember this wrong, but you
can get freetype from different sources. One is to install XQuartz.
Another is to get it from homebrew. There was some issue with Macosx
10.11 and the path to freetype in XQuartz but I think that should be
fixed now.

There was a recent thread about JDK-8145206: Configure broken on Macosx
I just attempted to bulid jdk9 on OS X 10.11.2 and configure failed with:
configure: error: Could not find freetype!
/Users/me/dev/openjdk9.common/autoconf/generated-configure.sh: line 82: 5:
Bad file descriptor
Checking README-builds.html I see that Freetype is listed as something that
is needed for Linux and Solaris, but not Mac OS X.
What is broken, configure or the System Setup instructions?
Thanks,
Scott
