I also ran into this problem, except that the complaint was about a
different symbol.
I suspect that the problem is an include file change in either the base
system or one of the xorg-server dependencies. These are the steps that
I went through to get my machine up and running:
Use "cvs update -D", "make", "make deinstall", and "make
reinstall" to revert xorg-server and xorg-libraries to versions
from two weeks ago. Still broken.
Use "cvs update -D", "make buildworld", and "make buildkernel"
to revert the base system to a two week old version. The
xorg-server failed to start after "make installworld" and also
after a subsequent "make installkernel" and a reboot.
Revert to two week old versions of these dependencies:
textproc/expat2
x11-fonts/fontconfig
print/freetype
print/freetype2
graphics/libdrm
devel/pkg-config
Still broken ...
"make clean && make && make deinstall && make reinstall" in
xorg-server. Result -- SUCCESS!
Create a package for xorg-server and use this package to install
on another machine that broke with the latest update. Result -
SUCCESS!
I've got a plane to catch in a few hours, so I can't debug this further,
but I hope this provides enough info for someone to track down the
actual problem.
