No. I am using the tar sets as available from
http://freedesktop.org/~xlibs/dist

(I need to use download files because they are used by an automated build
system that doesn't easily support using CVS to fetch code.)

Okay that worked (with s,/usr/include,-I/usr/include,). Thanks.

Sorry, forgot to include that context. Yes, it was that line:

override CC = gcc   <-- this is line 472
# Tell versions [3.59,3.63) of GNU make to not export all variables.
# Otherwise a system limit (for SysV at least) may be exceeded.
.NOEXPORT:

Maybe later I will try making it bmake friendly.

I don't know about this. I guess I can look in archives.
