Don't worry it only lasts a day.

You'd want to bootstrap with a binary package.

if foo depends on bar and vice versa, build foo against a binary version of bar
then rebuild bar against your version of foo.

Another way if possible is to configure foo and disable any features
that require bar.
Then after building bar, rebuild a fully featured foo. Although I'm not sure if
freetype/harfbuzz can be configured this way
