Looks like one of your X setup files isn't configured properly ...
LinuxMachineDefines isn't being replaced with the real value ... look in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config, the file linux.cf has this value. My guess is
if you make sure Imake.cf has the following in it somewhere:
#ifdef linux
# define MacroIncludeFile <linux.cf>
# define MacroFile linux.cf
Then make sure "linux" is getting defined by the compiler as a default.
This should fix the problem. If that's difficult, you can probably kludge
around it put throwing a "#define linux 1" at the top of your site.def
file in the X11/config dir. (none of this has been tested, but it's my
shot at it =)
