I am happy that I can use ssh... Ah, Christian, you're alive again. Actually, 4.0.3 doesn't even build on m68k. My build crashed after 26 hours with linking errors in libXfont.a, of all things. At first glance it's a real puzzler for me. Can you look at the build log and offer any advice? Please also note that I had to revert one of your patches, but it was to the xf86loader code, and I don't see how it could possibly affect libXfont static linkage. My guess is that upstream did something to break it, probably adding an #if defined(arch1) || defined(arch2) || ... Where they enumerate every architecture in the world except m68k. :-P The build log is at: http://www.debian.org/~branden/m68k.build.log.bz2 -- G.
