I am getting an irritating number of compiles dying in hlfs, and
am beginning to presume the problem is me. I just ran off to
another system and the kernel compiled _no_hassle_ :-(. I did
remember to switch off the grsecurity options as instructed.
Feedback on xorg-7.0.0 is poor - compiling is awkward to put it
mildly, nobody has come up with a Makefile/Imakefile yet, no
instructions are around, and generally the install stage sucks.
READMEs are zero bytes, patches don't fit and if you want to do
something clever you're in for a bit of work.
