Solved! Thanks a lot for your quick response! It turned out that the 
main problem was that I wasn't building from scratch.

For reference, before I found this out I installed the latest version of 
freetype2 (2.5.3) and the change in the freetype2.pc file was this:

[before]
prefix="/usr/local"
exec_prefix="/usr/local"
libdir="/usr/local/lib"
includedir="/usr/local/include"

Name: FreeType 2
Description: A free, high-quality, and portable font engine.
Version: 16.1.10
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype
Libs.private:
Cflags: -I${includedir}/freetype2 -I${includedir}

***
[after]
prefix="/usr/local"
exec_prefix="/usr/local"
libdir="/usr/local/lib"
includedir="/usr/local/include/freetype2"

Name: FreeType 2
URL: http://freetype.org
