Jim, I'll have to guess that you are trying to build X11 release 4,
and using the Gnu compiler "gcc".  If I am right, then all you need
to do is a "make clean", then run gcc's fixincludes script, then
another "make World".  Here's an excerpt from "Frequently asked
questions about X":

Subject: 30) How do I build X with gcc?

	MIT is now using regularly the Free Software Foundation's
GNU-CC to build the X distribution and uses gcc-built servers to test 
performance increases.

	[These options are gathered from several descriptions of building
X with gcc 1.34, 1.35, and 1.36]:

	Use the options
		-O -fstrength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return

		-traditional may also be necessary if your version of
gcc is sufficiently old.

	Do not use -finline-functions, particularly on the R4 server.

	--->	Make sure to run 'fixincludes' from the gcc distribution 
	--->	before doing anything, or you will get fatal errors such as:
	--->	xterm: Error 15, errno 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device.

HOWEVER, there is a bug in gcc 1.34 and 1.36 (but not in 1.35 or 1.37) which 
miscompiles things of the form (expr == 0 ? exp1 : exp2).  The fix needed in 
X11R4 (and probably X11R3) is to change the definition of XtNewString in 
Intrinsic.h to:
  #define XtNewString(str) \
  ((str) != NULL ? (strcpy(XtMalloc((unsigned)strlen(str) + 1), str)) : NULL)
A work-around is also in fix-2 to X11R4.
