Hello Martin, as DRC stated build-xorg script should be used only on legacy platforms. It will be big overhead for us to support "one-script-for-all" build.
As a quick hint how to determine what is "legacy" and what isn't, you can check unix/xserver*.patch files. When your distro contains xorg server 1.5.X and newer, you should build Xvnc natively. Good example which parameters should be passed to ./configure is in the distribution xorg package. Older systems (xorg server 1.4.X and older, XFree86 etc) should use build-xorg script. Additionally Xvnc built with xorg-build script can contain many bugs (yeah, also security bugs) which are already fixed; good example is infamous key-repeating bug in our prebuilt Xvnc... I understand building of Xvnc is quite uncomfortable but this issue is inherited from upstream X.Org source.
