Updating extra/pango 1.39.0-1 -> 1.40.0-1 breaks GDM and GNOME entirely.

Error: undefined symbol libpangoft fcweightfromopentype

Reverting to 1.39 fixes the problem, and allows GDM/GNOME to start.

Although reverting to 1.39 allows GNOME to start, the layout of several apps is severely broken.

EDIT: Looks like this may have been caused by using infinality's outdated fontconfig and associated packages.
