I had to make a small modification, which was to pass SHA1_LIB=-lcrypto on the X server configure command line to keep it from trying to link in all of OpenSSL when doing a static build. Apart from that, it seems to work fine. I'm spinning a new build right now and will upload it to the pre-releases page and merge the patch with trunk if everything goes well.
I was never able to repro the key repeat issue to begin with, so I have no idea whether this fixes it. Others will have to test that once the build is up. IMHO, we should consider removing the Xorg 7.5 support from build-xorg. I don't think anyone has successfully gotten 'build-xorg -version 7.5' to work properly. IMHO, build-xorg should be standardized around one version of the X server that we know to work, so if we decide there are compelling enough reasons to use 7.5, we should upgrade everyone who is using build-xorg to that version. That may mean updating the build tool requirements to reflect the fact that Xorg 7.5 seems to work only with newer autoconf/automake. I'm OK with that as long as there are compelling reasons to upgrade to 7.5, but I don't want to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. It needs to be something that is done to address specific issues. Need Cendio's feedback on that in particular, since they were the ones who paid for the '-version 7.5' modification to build-xorg.
