FWIW, running fc-cache -v shows segfaults on /Library/Fonts and
/System/Library/Fonts. Temporarily moving these (e.g. to Fonts.old) allows xorg
to complete installation (while, obviously, missing those fonts). Perhaps
fc-cache is just choking on one of these? I unfortunately won't have a chance to
do more investigation for a while.
This is all on an Intel MacBook. Building everything from source. xorg now runs
as expected, though I don't know what the implications of moving the fonts
around are.
Anyway, I'm far from an expert; it's my first Mac. I am well-versed in Debian
though, so I don't feel completely clueless. Anyway, I hope this is helpful
somehow. If this is tremendously stupid, feel free to ignore :)
Did anyone reply to this? I've only done a couple of experiments and I
think you have several choices:
1) delete all of X and X dependencies and rebuild everything from
scratch. Don't use the bindist. This is what you need to do if you want
xorg or xfree86. You'll have failures with random X apps otherwise.
2) delete xorg and everything you've compiled for X since you installed
xorg, and install Apple's X11 and the X11 SDK. With this option, you can
use the bindist (something that Debian-ish users usually like).
Option 1 means no bindist. Option 2 means bindist is OK. Option 1 is
"gentoo-ish", option 2 is "Debian-ish." :)
