Yes, code base is quite small, and it should build fine and quickly ... if you 
have XFree86 CVS (that's what Carl told me)
I have 
$ rpm -qa | grep XFree86
XFree86-libs-4.2.0-6mdk
XFree86-devel-4.2.0-6mdk
XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-6mdk
XFree86-4.2.0-6mdk
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6mdk
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6mdk
XFree86-server-4.2.0-6mdk

And quite confused by the fact that it doesn't build for me.

[vad@VPlessky Xc]$ pwd
/usr/local/vadim/XrXc/XrXc-20021104/Xc

[vad@VPlessky Xc]$ xmkmf
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
[vad@VPlessky Xc]$ make
[vad@VPlessky Xc]$ su
Password:
[root@VPlessky Xc]# make install
+ mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xc
+ install -c -m 0444 Xc.h /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xc
install in . done
[root@VPlessky Xc]#

Only xc.h is installed (in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xc)

Any idea how to fix it?

what I know is that Xr/Xc should work with XF-4.2.0.
But it doesn't build in my case. :-(

yes, it's quite acceptable. If I only could get .so or at least static libs 
out of sources :-)

Do you think Xr/Xc wouldn't be ready for your next release?
I hope it should be ready pretty soon :-)
We need good groundbase for SVG rendering on X, and Xr/Xc looks like a perfect 
candidate for this task.
