I sure hope not.  I've certainly never seen any such code (and would have 
fixed it if I had).

You should fix your patch to not use that trigraph.  Does GCC have a mode 
that pukes if it finds any trigraphs?  That would be a better option than 
disabling them; X gets built with other compilers still, some of which 
might not have an option to disable trigraphs.
