There are some instructions on how to rebuild parts of the XFree86 source tree for debugging here: <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/XF4/README?rev=1.12&content-type=text/plain> This was written for the XFree86 tree in OpenBSD, but most of it applies regardless of the operating system.
