There was just a ton of churn on the XKB code, so it might be a little
bit until everything is back in order. For now, you might try building
the server with --disable-xnest, but I think you may hit similar
issues with xorg (although I haven't tried myself). If you can't get
xorg to build, you might try backing up 15 commits or so. Building
server-1.6-branch is a possibility, too, since this just affects
master.
