Curious... I don't think there are any binary incompatibilities

I don't have my sources handy, so I'm citing from memory. Please
double-check the following incantations:
#define ProjectRoot "/usr/local/X11R6"
#define NothingOutsideProjectRoot YES
Note that if you do this and also define BuildServersOnly, you'll need
to softlink your fonts and security directories from /usr/X11R6 to
/usr/local/X11R6.
(Actually I don't bother about security and just live with the
warnings when testing the /usr/local installation.)
