 The problem is that reduce is trying to link with MacPorts static
 libraries, which means that it must specify all of those libraries'
 dependencies. A recent freetype update added a dependency on brotli which
 reduce is evidently not using, hence the error about undefined brotli
 library symbols.

 The fix should be for reduce to use MacPorts dynamic libraries instead of
 static libraries. This has numerous other advantages as well.

 If there is absolutely no way to fix the build to do that, then the other
 possible fix is to instruct the build to also link with the brotli static
 libraries /opt/local/lib/libbrotlidec-static.a and /opt/local/lib
 /libbrotlicommon-static.a.
