 Thanks, that does help it progress further, until:
 
 [1/633] Generating 'dix/liblibxserver_dix.a.p/Xserver.o'
 FAILED: [code=1] dix/liblibxserver_dix.a.p/Xserver.o
 /usr/sbin/dtrace -C -G -s ../include/Xserver.d -o dix/liblibxserver_dix.a.p/Xserver.o
 dtrace: failed to link script ../include/Xserver.d: No probe sites found for declared provider
 
 Any ideas about that?
 
 Thanks,
