As noted other day on blfs-dev, XFree86 fails to build with anything
newer than freetype-2.1.10. Fortunately, some fixes were just
committed to the XFree86 CVS just this past week to fix things.

The patch isn't done yet, but I thought while I was working on this I
would knock out a couple other things I wanted to fix on that page.

1. The glibc build fix isn't needed anymore. I already committed that bit.

2. Since I'm going to add a patch on the xc/ directory, I thought I
might also move the two sed's right before `make World'. The patch
needs to happen from the xc/ directory. So, I thought I'd move all the
source fixes to a section before creating the xcbuild shadow
directory. This would be where the glibc build fix is right now.

Does anyone have a problem with that? Randy, I know you like to have
all the commands in one block, but there are going to be multiple
blocks regardless unless we do something like

( cd ../xc && patch -Np1 -i ../$patch ) && ...

3. Is the asm/page.h sed needed anymore? It worked on my system to use
the version from the kernel headers.

4. Does anyone mind if I change the <linux/config.h> sed a bit? I'd
just as soon delete the line instead of commenting, and I like this
format a little better:

grep -rl '^#include <linux/config.h>' . | \
    xargs sed -i '\:^#include <linux/config.h>:d'
