Well, it will be a problem for anyone that does not have a built motif
src tree symlinked into imports...

I'm not sure how that would help... Perhaps you meant motif/include?
On Linux, we build with the Motif development packages rather than a
motif source tree. The Motif devel packages do not contain the
private headers, so even symlinking motif's includes would not work.

During the last git am of your patch, followed by a make World, the
file was deleted, causing the build to fail. Probably due to the fact
that the awk script was updated, and the Imakefile makes XmPrivate.h
dependant on the awk script.
I just disabled this altogether in Linux - though I think it should be
disabled all of the time on all systems.
IMO, the awk script that generates XmPrivate.h should always only be
run manually when it's needed, and never automatically. The only way
it can ever work automatically is with an openmotif source tree, built
and symlinked into imports.
That will never be the usual case on Linux, and probably most other
systems as well. I think fbsd is special in this regard since it's
all done via the ports system.
The Imakefile should probably just be:
#if defined(FreeBSDArchitecture)
...<build XmPrivate.h>...
#endif
No idea about OpenBSD/NetBSD.
When all of these various prototype issues are fixed, I do not expect
XmPrivate.h to be modified at all going forward.

It was wiped on my first make World after applying the patch.
