Both are unbuildable: lilypond needs to be ported to newer guile, wine needs
to cope with new unicode-data -- ie, not our direct concern.

It's a problem known to upstreams of both pecita and fontforge:

New /usr/include/fontforge/basics.h has:
#include <fontforge-config.h>
yet during that check that file is not in the include path.  There are two
ways to find it: either #include <fontforge/fontforge-config.h> or add
/usr/include/fontforge to -I.

Mensis does call configure --includedir=/usr/include/fontforge yet the
actual check does:
configure:12535: gcc -c -g -O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat
    -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
    -I/usr/include/freetype2/ conftest.c >&5

This looks like a bug in mensis rather than fontforge to me, but we can fix
it in either.

Still fails with the same error.

Sure, just did another rebuild:

Still unrelated: lilypond, wine.
Still FTBFS: fonts-okolaks, fonts-pecita, mensis, mftrace, pdfhtmlex,
    ttf-goudybookletter, wine-development.
Fixed: fonts-lohit-gujr, latex-cjk-chinese-arphic.
