Unless Patch 11 fixed the problems I noticed in Patch 10 (which
doesn`t seem likely, because I believe the problems are with the
gcc2.1 patches), X11R5 *cannot* be built with GCC2.1 and *shared
libraries*.  If you back out the "use gcc to compile the libraries"
stuff by hand, it should work.  But you *cannot* use gcc to compile
the shared libraries.

Sigh.

Just another gcc2.1 wanna-be user,
