Hmm. I am using the following patch, which I got from slashdot of all places: --- xc/config/makedepend/cppsetup.c.orig Sun Mar 12 15:47:41 2000 +++ xc/config/makedepend/cppsetup.c Sun Mar 12 15:48:21 2000 @@ -188,7 +188,7 @@ return 0; do { var = (*s)->s_value; - if (!isvarfirstletter(*var)) + if (!isvarfirstletter(*var) || !strcmp((*s)->s_name, var)) break; s = lookup_variable (ip, var, strlen(var)); } while (s); It did seem to fix the problem. If someone who understands cppsetup.c could comment and it turns out that this patch doesn't in fact disable some feature of cppsetup, I will submit this patch to XFree86. Anyway, XFree86 4.0 built without errors on a potato system and I am basically deep in the guts of it right now, figuring out how I need to break it up for packaging. -- G.
