It came because somebody disabled my Xorg-bin wrapper patch (but only partially, not really). I have put it in place again, but from now on it only gets applied on SPARC, so it doesn't interfere with your x86 builds. On SPARC, however, you *should* use it, because otherwise Xorg will hardlock whatever SPARC's with any m64 flavour or pfb (XVR-50 or XVR-100) or whatever else that needs either the ati ddx module (or one of its sub-modules), or radeonhd.
After I re-enabled the wrapper the build attempted to generate mapfile-Xorg-externs from hw/xfree86/Xorg, which was already only the wrapper by then, a plain ascii file. No wonder the mapfile-Xorg-externs couldn't be properly created. I wonder why I didn't realize it instantly. But I didn't have this problem since 15 months ago ... , when I introduced the wrapper for the first time. Why didn't you throw some wood against my head in order to help me recall it a bit quicker? -- %martin
