I did to a make distclean and it still won't work. did a fresh clone, and
I'm still getting 

  CCLD     Xvfb
  ../../os/os.O: In function `xorg_backtrace':
  /home/whot/xorg/xserver/os/backtrace.c:56: undefined reference to

if you look at the hw/xfree86/Makefile.am, libos.la is uses twice, once from
XSERVER_LIBS, once at the end again. This isn't the case for the other
DDX's, I suspect this may be the reason.
