Greetings,

For those interested,

After last weeks feedback, I got the X11R6-pl5+netbsd to compile entirely.
All the clients work, as well as emacs-19.26 in an X window.  However
the Xserver, Xsun, dumps core.  

I made a hack in programs/Xserver/hw/sun/sunCfb.c and in sunInit*.c
The diffs are tacked onto the end of thi msg.  Basically, I commented out
references to the cg2 frame buffer.  It doesn't exist on the 4c, but
it may be needed for older sun4 machines, so what I did was the wrong
thing for any distribution.  I had a similar problem to the one that 
Dennis Ferguson reported with bw2reg.h.  The patched X11R6 sources 
that I ended up with actually wanted a struct def from cg2reg.h.  There
is no cg2reg or cgtwo reg in the system (1 Aug snapshot) or sources
(16 Aug ) that I have.  I do not believe that this change causes the
core dump, however I cannot get a -g version to compile in order to
confirm this..

When the following command executes it reports that vm is exhausted.
I suspect a limit, which I will reset and then re-make, for pstat -s
reported much more swap left at the time ld ran out.  I have seen gld 
run out of swap many times, I may have to throw more disk at it if
it is not a limit.
