Nope.  I'm trying to start tracking xorg rather than DRI cvs and I
have a bunch of old patches I want to port to xorg, so I grabbed cvs
and tried "make world"  that failed with the previous error, so I then
tried to build just the Xserver which resulted in this error.

it's all crazy magic to me ;)
