That would have been my guess, but 1) there's no trace of that in the configure log and 2) I'd expect at least one of the frameworks (libraries) to show libharfbuzz when doing the OS X equivalent of ldd (probably QtGui.framework/QtGui or else QtCore).

I'm not even sure how to check if the -harfbuzz switch had any effect, it's not like layout has all of a sudden become that much better or worse :)
