You can disable those flgas if you want and test if it helps you. Yes the
DXTEST enables Xtest extension. I do not think should cause crash.
Screensave flag is useless for Cygwin, because we do not use Xxcreensaver.
DEBUG is for building debug, if you are not using -g, then you can disable
it. RENNETRANT can be disable because we are not using threadsafe api.

Subject: Questionalbe command line defines for Cygwin/XFree86
In debugging the freezes and crashes, I've noticed a couple of symbols
that
are defined on the command line. I don't really like the looks of any
of
these, and I've tried to get rid of a few of them, but I'd like input on
what they do, and whether other people think we need them.
-DBUILDDEBUG
Happens even when not doing a debug build.
-DXTEST
There is some code in WaitFor.c that runs when
XTESTEXT1 is defined; I'm wondering if XTEST
causes XTESTEXT1 to become defined.
-DSCREENSAVER
We can't really have a screen saver, so why
would we need this? This could possibly
be affecting the timeout value in WaitFor.c.
-D_REENTRANT
Cygwin.cf defines ThreadedX and HasThreadSafeAPI
to NO, so what are we allowing to be reentrant?
Input on this, and our pointers as to how to undefine these symbols
would be
appreciated.
Harold
