it's a lot easier to simply set XORGFLAVOUR=Xorg and run a full build.sh
run on some box (it could be a fast x86.):

   % ./build.sh -V XORGFLAVOUR=Xorg -x -m alpha -jN distribution sets

and the install the generated x*.tgz.


(if you really insist on trying to build _just_ xsrc, let me know.  it's
possible but you'll have to run much of it as root, and you won't get any
sets for later use.)
