I haven't tried CBE1.7 yet - CBE1.6 has aclocal without needing any other
links.
I haven't built FOX itself since before Martin's last round of changes
(my last build was just before my last checkin last week), so I'm not
sure how much he changed there.
As an experimental/project gate, not our main focus, it's not something
we make sure always builds. (When we get the master X gate pushed out
to opensolaris.org, it will be much more likely to build at any given
time, but also require reviews and bug reports and other processes before
putback, unlike the project gate.)
I've also been concentrating much more on the fox-7-4-merge gate than the
master fox gate lately, though the 7-4-merge gate will obviously go away
once we're ready to integrate and merge it back in.
