Is it a GNU make-ism? Those slip in from time to time, and either the BSD guys or our Solaris builds normally catch those if they break the build, but if it simply continues on without error it could easily slip by. You can file a bug against it at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg and if you provide a patch I can check it in, but without a patch it will probably be closed as "will not fix" as X.Org has declared DPS dead, so it will be disabled in Xorg 6.9 and removed completely for Xorg 7.0. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
