Thanks, there were others missing too. I have compiled Xserver on this
machine before, I guess they've added new packages in the required
list.

With those packages installed now, I was able to compile XWin.exe and
it is running fine. But I saw a couple of gcc errors saying "-rdynamic
is not a recognized option" or something when the build process was
building in hw/vfb and hw/xnest. I had to yank out those two
directories from the build process by manually editing hw/Makefile.
Can you help on this?
