I am trying to build X11R4 on a Sequent Symmetry running Dynix 3.0.12.
I am running into problems compiling a piece of the extensions library,
xinput. Almost every source file under mit/extensions/lib/xinput dies with
the following message

    cc -c -O   -I../../../. -I../../../. -I../../.././X11 -I../../.././lib/X
 -I../../include  -DSHAPE -DMULTIBUFFER -DMITMISC    XAllowDv.c
"../../include/XInput.h", line 653: compiler error: dimension table overflow

Its fairly regular, though it does not seem to be a problem specificly in
XInput.h - on some of the files, cc bombs out in /usr/include/signal.h.
Also, it only seems to happen with files in extensions/lib/xinput.

I even tried using gcc (1.37) thinking it may be the result of some internal
table size limitation in cc. Gcc compiles the stuff fine, but the clients 
produced with gcc fail miserably with something to the effect of:

XIO:  fatal IO error 49 (Can't assign requested address) on X server ...
      after 96 requests (79 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

BTW: I am using the sequent.cf and changes to Imake.tmpl that were recently
     posted.
