It doesn't work for me without those. If I don't have those, cross.def is 
not parsed at all (I've tested this by inserting a #error line).

Thanks.

I have now been able to produce a Xvfb binary. Some additional problems:

1) The build of "Xsun" failed, with:

sunCfb.c:311:24: sys/cg2reg.h: No such file or directory

What's the easiest way of disabling the build of Xsun?


2) Xvfb wanted to link with "-lfreetype". This failed, because no 
"libfreetype.so" existed in the exports/lib directory. This was solved by 
a symlink:

ln -s libfreetype.so.9.0 libfreetype.so


3) I needed to manually make Xvfb link with "-lnsl -lsocket". I wonder why 
the definition of ExtraLibraries from sun.cf was not used.

Now I just have to figure out how to link libfreetype statically...
