Dave's post was indeed helpful.  But first I must clarify something 
which did not appear in my original message (Saturday).  I attached 
there a copy of the shell script which I wrote to carry out the build. 
This script did not appear in the archive, and as a result an important 
piece of information was not visible to readers.  At the top of the 
script I had put the comment:

#
# REMARK:
# It was necessary to remove file
#   /usr/include/xorg/xf86_ansic.h
# in order to avoid a runtime error "undefined symbol xf86stat".
#

At the time I thought (on the basis of some googling) that xf86_ansic.h 
was an obsolete relic (awaiting de-ansification), and because its 
removal gave no error messages during the build and allowed the x-server 
to at least start I did not worry too much about discarding it.  Bad move.

Having seen Dave's post I did some instrumenting of routine 
drmOpenDevice() in file xf86drm.c myself.  I always got zero for the 
structure members st.st_dev and st.st_rdev and inconsistent values for 
dev.  I conclude that there is something seriously wrong with the 
definition of dev_t in my build.  I haven't tried to find where the 
definition is located;  all I really know is that sizeof(dev_t) is 8.

Although it seems that removal of xf86_ansic.h wrecks the build, I have 
just as much trouble if I retain xf86_ansic.h.  In the latter case the 
build again gives no error messages, but at runtime I get a black screen 
when starting X and messages in Xorg.0.log about not finding any fonts.

This is my first build using git and I guess I am trying to do too much 
at once.

Mike
