There had also been another stopper: A function prototype versus definition 
conflict in a header file included via two other header files. It prevented the 
server from being built in circa 30 cases. I worked around this by moving two 
or three header files to a local place into sun-src (where the symlinks in tsol 
and Xext are created against).

Also the fact, that the newer rev drivers enable --enable-dri in auto mode now. 
This proved to be a problem, as I continue to activate full dri support for 
building the server. Therefore autodetection of the dri-aware drivers puts dri 
on now. Which currently doesn't work out of the box: Linker flags are missing 
and not set by default. If I add them manually for each driver (libdrm and 
libdri), I still end up in getting two missing symbols from libdri.so .
I therefore temporarily disabled dri for the drivers (Makefile.inc in driver 
folder).
Even the sunffb driver has dri stubs now.   :-)
But all that is a moving target. However, I am optimistic we might get looking 
glass or Compiz going also on 1GHz++ SPARC machines with XVR-100 or maybe even 
ffb / afb.
