Possible bitrot detected while compiling full xorg tree

[Alex Villací­s Lasso]

I have tried building the full xserver tree from current git (as of 
2008/11/24 11:00 GMT -5) with the util/modular/build.sh . This is what 
happened.

System: Fedora 8 32-bit, updated last at 2008/11/21.

First I applied this patch to enable the building of the Mesa tree along 
with the rest of the system:

 # The server requires at least the following libraries:

Source code is at /home/alex/install/xorg-build-full/
Desired install dir is at /home/alex/xserver

Then I ran the following command at the base of the source tree in:

PATH=/home/alex/xserver/bin:$PATH ./util/modular/build.sh -m 
/home/alex/install/xorg-build-full/mesa/mesa /home/alex/xserver

I found the following problems:
- At app/xdriinfo I got a failure to find a GL library (Mesa, I 
suppose). I resolved this by deferring the compile until after both 
libdrm and Mesa were installed.
- At driver/xf86-input-vmmouse I got a compile error about xf86OSmouse.h 
not being found. I solved this by symlinking the xf86OSmouse.h from 
driver/xf86-input-mouse and restarting the compile.
- driver/xf86-video-via generates an error about "expected 
specifier-qualifier-list before 'uint32_t'" when including drm.h. I 
skipped this one since my chipset is a radeon.
- driver/xf86-video-imstt generates an error about "expected 
specifier-qualifier-list before 'pciVideoPtr'". Skipped.

However, this build does not work correctly because I get a segfault on 
startup (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18700). So I am 
back to a month-old build.
