I suspect this is for historic reasons, but at the moment out build scripts (https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-build/blob/master/sbin/prepareWorkspace.sh#L292) build freetype within the build workspace. Ideally, as with most other prereqs) this should be done in the ansible scripts and then used in a repeatable manner across all the builds that require it.
I would propose a location such as
/usr/local/freetype-2.5.3
as the prefix. This will aid build performanceFeatures that impact the whole project (e.g. Adding a new OpenJDK distribution)are made over at the TSC.
