Might have something to do with the ELF-transition ? I don't remember if
the X-server was statically linked but you'd have play with emul/m68kaout
anyway. I once played with the sources but I didn't get far.. btw, I 
started to have problems with Xhpux around 1.5 with same grmd errors.

Anyway, first succesfull cross build (for me at least) from alpha->hp300
yesterday. Took around eight hours on a 333MHz 21164 which is a *lot* faster
than on a 16MB 382 (which took many days even before this toolchain stuff).
