This message doesn't come from FreeType!  It's probably related to the
GNU MPFR library, which FreeType doesn't use.

This is not sufficient information.  The normal way to build FreeType
on GNU/Linux systems like Ubuntu is

  cd freetype-2.7
  ./configure [options]
  make

where `[options]' should be added as needed.  All configuration
options can be seen by calling

  ./configure --help

After running `configure' (and before executing `make'), you should
closely inspect the console output and/or the file
`builds/unix/config.log' for problems.

Somehow you aren't following the normal setup, I guess.  You need GNU
make, BTW, but this should be the default on Ubuntu anyway, I guess.

`.libs' is not a file, it's a directory!
