Look at xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/bindist/<your_favourite_os>/host.def. These are the host.def files used to build binaries for ftp.xfree86.org. > > Which brings me to my question.

Is that correct? Yes. BTW you can find some more information (and a sample on how to build a small, static only server for debugging purpopses in: <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/XF4/README?rev=1.11&content-type=text/plain>, that I already mentionned earlier. This text is aimed for the XFree86 tree shipped with OpenBSD, but most of it is not specific to OpenBSD. I'll probably merge some of its informaion into the BUILD document in the XFree86 tree if people find it useful.
