have those additional commands lumped in the same command block as make
install

Then that doesn't explain the required dependencies list for Pango.
Fontconfig is listed is "Required" which is why it shouldn't also be
listed an "Optional". Exactly what *are* the minimum requirements to
build Pango?

Please clarify. You've now got me confused. Are you saying that

I'm reading your last sentence
