I am trying to build X11 as an unprivileged user (-current and xsrc
cvs'ed today). /usr/xsrc is owned by root.

$ sh build.sh -x -u -U \
-T /export/NetBSD-current/tools-i386 \
-M /export/NetBSD-current/obj-i386 \
-D /export/NetBSD-current/build-i386 \
-R /export/NetBSD-current/release-i386 \
release

[...]

includes ===> lib/GL
