RE: [Ltib] Building xorg-server; missing dependencies?

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Alex,

See my other email about why we get different results (toolchain
versions).  If this gets you by for the moment, that's fine, but don't
forget to put it back how it was.  This is definitely not recommended.

I'll try to come up with a robust fix that doesn't require this hack.

Regards, Stuart
