We can't stop people from using whatever comes with their distro. With
automake 2.0, it will break and will submit patches to fix it.

This is interesting.  Does the imported X code include Mesa Graphics
Library? It already contains links. Examples:

    ./mesa/mesa/src/gallium/state_trackers/dri/drm/dri_drawable.c
    ./mesa/mesa/src/mesa/drivers/dri/r200/radeon_span.c

I don't know how the X code is imported in the VCS, it is possible that
you get real files instead of links (the tarball does not contain
links). Can you apply the first patch and see what happens?

Thanks
