That switch did not make any difference, but I have found out where the problem 
lies. Config.status has a line:
S["X11_DEVS"]=""

In Makefile.in, there is a corresponding line:
DEVICE_DEVS=$(DISPLAY_DEV) @X11_DEVS@

Since @X11_DEVS@ is unset, this becomes DEVICE_DEVS=$(DISPLAY_DEV). DISPLAY_DEV 
is bbox.dev so only that one gets built.

If, before running configure, this line is commented out and a line further up 
- 
#DEVICE_DEVS=$(DISPLAY_DEV) $(DD)x11.dev \ $(DD)x11alpha.dev $(DD)x11cmyk.dev 
$(DD)x11gray2.dev \ $(DD)x11gray4.dev $(DD)x11mono.dev
- is uncommented, then the X11 drivers are built.

I'm going to try building gs-9.10 in this system to see if there is any 
difference.
