Thanks Greg for help.

 If I understand right, with "-x" and "distribution" both the system and xorg will be compiled and sets generated.

And for installing:

./build.sh -x -j4 -O ../obj -T ../tools install=/ will install only xorg or both xorg and the system?

And with  "-u" It does not compile everything but only the source that has changed from the last compilation, is not it?

Thanks.
Ramiro.
