I _have_ libotf (see below).

That's the problem I believe. If one has libotf, the function is
declared and used, but never defined. The function definition is
enclosed by additional #ifdefs.

I'm afraid I won't be of great help here, since my my knowledge of
emacs' code tends to zero.

The last time I could build emacs was 13. March 2009. But I don't update
on regular basis, just once or twice a week. So this will take some time
to find out, but I'll try.




This is the conclusion of ./configure in a fresh checked out emacs
directory (which shows that libotf was found):
