That's from libXrandr. Either your randrproto/libXrandr combo is too
old (pre-1.2) or too new, depending on what gnome-desktop wants with
it. I suspect too old, though, since I understand that newer gnome was
trying to make use of the RandR-1.2 API. What version of
randrproto/libXrandr did you install?

 Encountered it, yes (trying to build gnome-2.24 on top of a
redundant BLFS-6.3 system).  Solved it, no (gnome seemed to build
fine on a more recent system using gcc-4.2, and I
didn't need gnome-desktop on that system).

 I'm guessing its a header from libXrandr or Xrandr.  The 1.2 series
for xorg-7.3 and 7.4 seem to be ok.

 Fedora has a (big) patch from early gnome-2.22, not sure if it will
help -

It's pre 1.2.  I guess I can build a new Xorg.
