 FWIW, xcalc and xclock are working fine for me on 7.4 (caveat: this
is still with gcc-4.2.4).  Actually, I also built xdm, guess I can
drop that - thanks for noticing it.

 Those Utils aren't needed by most applications (in the same way that
people haven't usually needed liboldX).  Unfortunately, I'm fond of
one old toy with a "here's the source, distribute it at will, all
rights reserved" licence which needs xmkmf, so I build imake and
xorg-cf-files just for that.

 But, I've dropped gccmakedep for 7.4 and I'm afraid I lost lndir
around xorg-7.1.
