They do build just fine. I see. I'm afraid you just need to wait just a little longer then. I don't think we need to add another knob for a problem that will go away by itself soon. * > We're planning to switch to XFree86-4 for everything except for * > servers soon.

I know there are still y server works in 3.3.6 and not 4 and z * server workds in 4 and not 3.3.6, wouldn't a USE_X336 type of deal be * convenient then? Sorry, didn't mean to say that servers will be 3.x only. There will be 3.x and 4.0 servers (which the user can choose from), with 4.0 libs etc. * > that's exactly what it means.
