I think you'd learn more if you downloaded source .debs and took a look at the debian/rules files, noticing changes mantainers made, and considering why. Anyway, instead of installing Xfree86 from tgz binaries, using debs would save you a lot of trouble, whatever you are compiling. It's the same thing, only you take advantage of having Xfree in the database of installed packages, and you make sure it gets installed at the right place. If you take my .2� of �, install Xfree from .debs, then build Gnome from scratch, using the "apt-get source $package" tool. -- .''`.
