    Why does the "make install" try to rebuild some of the server's
    "mfb" code?

Perhaps because you didn't do a "make" before you did a "make install"?

    BTW, is there any
    real need to do the install as root, other than not having to fix
    up xterm to be setuid root?

xterm and xload.  No, I don't think so, as long as you have write access
to the required directories.

    Anyway, should I give up on running xdm out of /etc/ttys?

Yes.

    are you going to generate an official set
    of fixes for those few remaining files that have hardwired dependencies
    on /usr/lib/X11?

Not high on our list.  If you needed to build somewhere else, you've already
made changes that work ...
