Thanks for the hint! The build breaks, but I'm not sure whether it's
related to drm or not...

$ make -C src {ati,radeon}_drv.la

looks more like a build script issue than libdrm... ;-)

Diffing the 6.6 branch with master, I think the blame goes to

So... reverting d5c6306385cbc7b13a132ae72ed04e04e24d9886 "Use portable
XORG_RELEASE_VERSION macro." works for me. ;-)

restarting x.org in a few seconds!
