The xf86 libraries are just for the (originally) XFree86-specific
extensions, which weren't standardized in the X Consortium/X.org.  That
namespacing really doesn't mean anything any more, as X.org is shipping
"XFree86" extensions along with the XFree86 DDX, and some XFree86
extensions have found their way into non-XFree86 DDXes like kdrive.

Generally when the build fails with a server requiring some extension's
symbols, it's because the server isn't intended to use that extension,
but that server's miinitext.c compile failed to undefine the extension
macro like it should have.
