Open the tarball and go again. I suspect a typo. Or you could try
Xorg-6.9.0 according to the instructions I posted or xorg-7.0.0
with Kevin Day's script.
The issue is that dlloader has problems with hardened systems
which link with -z now, and some one of the commands alter that on
a big heap of Makefiles. It needs the -nonow switch, which doesn't
go handily into X.
I got different behaviour from one of the sed commands here doing
this. The obvious symptom was that sometimes it took 2 seconds to
return a prompt, and sometines returned it immediately
I suspect mouse or screen type issues. The screen size hops
all over the place when you're going from console to X and I have
seen screen width and length strangeness interfere with things here.
The console programs lose track of the current screen size. So the
mouse can only navigate the top half of the screen, or 20 spaces
are included (Or 20 characters left out) when you copy & paste 2
lines.
I got a solution on list for Xorg-6.9 which is to alter the gcc specs
file (default switches). X uses gcc for linking. The specs negate
-nonow, and inserts -z now. I now have specs.orig, and
specs.softlink in the directory
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/ and copy them in as
appropiate. The specs.softlink leaves the linking at -nonow.

Just for the fun of it, ...meh, I have recompiled 6.8.2 with a new
buildscript. (the buildscript has been filled with the HLFS xorg-6.8.2 build
commands, copied from the page, so no typos (of mine) )
Again, Xorg -configure failed, so I tried 6.9.
I'm not sure if I understood your post correctly. I have tried with either
of your gcc specs files in /usr/lib/gcc/2.6.14.6/ and have built 6.9 with
the same 6.8.2 buildscript, except for the patches. The nonow patch could
actually be applied, but I'm not sure whether I still need to with these
spec files.
So in total I have run four compilations of Xorg 6.9 now.
With and without the -nonow patch and with either the specs file or the
specs.old file.
Unfortunately, the build fails with this error:
gcc -m32 -o xdm -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing

What have I missed?
