The freetype version is not correct. Maybe that's an package version?

You can probably adjust the path directly in this file:
http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/framebuffer/Makefile.target

...but also have an look at Makefile.config in the root of your
netsurf source tree!

Your build environment is broken when it uses the wrong pkg-config
installation (directory).
In the end, that means netsurf-buildsystem will not use the correct
libs.
You may want to use hardcoded lib path in the Makefile.target file, as
long as you don't
want to fix your build env. You can also enable verbose compiling at:
http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/Makefile#n134
http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/Makefile#n135
(comment the lines).
Then you can copy the erroneous linker statement, try to fix it, paste
it
to the console again, and execute again.

Maybe freetype uses a special pkg-config script called
"freetype2-config" or such...
(same may applies to other packages...).
