I installed XQuartz, rebooted, and re-ran configure. Got the exact same

How did you install XQuartz?
Can you check that you indeed have freetype installed on the system, and
let us know where it ended up. I think it might end up somewhere in /opt
in newer releases.
Once you know where you installed freetype, the short-term workaround is
to provide this path to configure using --with-freetype. The long-term
is that we can add some additional "well known" paths to look at by
default in configure to save some typing.

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
