I think it's in ~/xcbuild/programs/xdm/Makefile
RPCLIB = -lrpcsvc
Just delete it. grepping for RPCLIB sorts you out.
The other gotchas:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/hlfs-dev/2006-January/002705.html
Instead of Kevin Day's Mesa patch, I ended up with the one from here
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4197
And although I may not have made it clear, I followed the Xorg-6.8.2 page
from the book pretty completely. You don't actually need any of the 6.8.2
patches for 6.9.0, as the developers have largely adopted them. But the sed
commands before, & methodology are all similar.
There is a later set of instructions in January which include DRI
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/hlfs-dev/2006-January/002745.html
and you might even get lucky. I got DRI only to discover the video card
I have is useless.
