Uhm... if I remember it correctly I didn't had that problem in the past.
I just pulled the source and started a build with "timex nice make World
2>&1 | tee -a
buildlog.log" and the build succeded without problems. This has changed
now... the question is: why ?
(And my useless memory tells me that I've seen a binary under
xc/programs/Xserver/Xorg after "make World" in the past and AFAIK noone
played with the build switches in sun.cf recently)
