I think they do that sometimes to satisfy defsystem when the real

I'd have a look through the layered products CD to see if you can find
the C development environment and load that, and see if you can get it
to load enough stuff to get bzero defined.

(Alternatively it might be a package bug -- is there a bzero in any
other package?).

Trying to get the x server to work seems splendidly quixotic to me...
