Freetype check fails

[Sangeetha-E]

Hello,

While trying to build openjdk7 with freetype version 2.12.0, found the below issue.

OpenJDK fails to properly detect freetype version, thinking that 2.12 is less than 2.2.

To detect the freetype version strcmp() function is used. That caused the issue.
https://github.com/openjdk-mirror/jdk7u-jdk/blob/jdk7u6-b08/make/tools/freetypecheck/freetypecheck.c#L87

Here is the error log:

ERROR: FreeType version  2.2.1  or higher is required.
