Hi Stephen,

   Thanks for the reply.  Sorry I haven't been able to get back to
you earlier.

Yes, I have those files.  They say they have the functions in question
using nm(1).

As far as I can tell.  This happened both with the X sets supplied with
NetBSD-1.6Beta4 and with the X sets for NetBSD-1.5 as provided on the
xfree86 ftp server.  Both are 4.2.0.

Nothing else.  You saw the whole list of errors .... undefined 
references followed by signal 11.

Thanks for your help.
