I see xf86Modes.c including xf86Priv.h which includes xf86Privstr.h 
which includes xf86str.h.  The MODE_BANDWIDTH constant was just 
introduced on Dec 13.

The intel driver symlinks to a bunch of stuff in the X server, including 
xf86Modes.c and xf86Cursors.c and it looks like you have copies of those 
files that are more recent than the X server header files they are 
including.  If you haven't built and installed the xserver package from 
git, I would recommend doing that.  This step doesn't seem to be in the 
instructions you linked to.  Hope this helps!
