I built xorg7.2rc4 twice today, all of the input drivers built fine
(only tested keyboard & mouse) but I can't build xf86-video-impact and
xf86-video-wsfb (understandable) and the one I haven't tested yet is
xf86-input-vmmouse because I'm building for arm and that pkg is
x86{,_64} specific.

If you use all the packages in the X11R7.2 release directory the build
should be flawless (since I'm able to cross-compile it without a problem).

There's also the addition of libxcb (which requires libpthread-stubs and
xcb-proto). I've been building libpthread-stubs right after libXdmcp and
libxcb right after that.
