I encountered this as well. Seems to be a packaging bug in the current 
Debian/SID package for libXft-dev

I created a quick workaround file (see attachment) by copying libXrender.la 
and changing necessary fields.

if you copy that to /usr/lib, remember to remove it before upgrading 
libXft-dev the next time to avoid conflicts during installation.

Cheers,
Kevin
