After reviewing the scripts again and again, it turns out that there are
two issues over here.

First, libdrm-2.4.56 has to be build after Xorg libs, which are more
required than recommended.

We have always assumed that the recommended packages have been installed for the BLFS instructions. I just made that more explicit in the "Notes on Building Software" section:

"Recommended means that BLFS strongly suggests this package is installed first for a clean and trouble-free build, that won't have issues either during the build process, or at run-time. The instructions in the book assume these packages are installed. Some changes or workarounds may be required if these packages are not installed."

I finally build using book's instructions

./configure --prefix=/usr     \
             --enable-udev &&
make

but still get some tests not passed. Anyway, there is a second issue.

Tests are not always clean. That may be an upstream issue or a BLFS issue, however if the vast majority of tests pass, then it's usually OK.

Now in Xorg libs, libXfont-1.4.8 fails with this requirement:

Requested 'fontsproto < 2.1.3' but version of FontsProto is 2.1.3

If you reverse to fonstproto-2.1.2 in Xorg protocols again, everything
goes fine through Xorg libs, libdrm, Mesa and so on ... until
xorg-server-1.16.0 that complains:

Requested 'fontsproto >= 2.1.3' but version of FontsProto is 2.1.2

So, fontsproto must be at 2.1.3 in order to use xorg-server-1.16.0.

You are using the development version of the book, so you should not be suprised if there are issues, especially if you are deviating from what BLFS expects.
