I like to wrap everything regardless of it's content mainly because of
something we've just proved here. Your xft-config doesn't contain any
libdirs, while mine contains a few.

xft-config --libs
-L/usr/X11R7/lib64 -lXft -lX11 -L/usr/lib64 -lfreetype -lz -L/usr/lib64
-lfontconfig -L/usr/X11R7/lib64 -lXrender -lX11
