Thanks, the gmake clue got rid of a lot of odd errors.    After a bit
more hacking, mostly
just getting my GNU build environment up-to-date, I was able to build
on Solaris 10.

But the Xorg dumped core with this error:
     Assertion failed: key->initialized, file
../include/xorg/privates.h, line 130, function dixGetPrivateAddr

The bug is due to out-of-date devPrivate code.

I filed Bug 29049, it includes a proposed patch.

Thanks for the help,
Pat
