Not totally useless. Those fonts.dir and fonts.alias files that XFree is
looking for are there, but in the etc/... heirarchy. Copy them, or softlink
and everything's cool. (And of course, the packager should fix it :)

I've been having trouble getting X/Emacs v20 working on my rig since I
uninstalled it and reinstalled it a few days ago. --configure whines about
debian-specific files being AWOL. (My setup is of the "unstable" flavour if
this helps tracing which files are which.)
Dunno about your gcc->kernel problems. Works here on a PC164. However,
there's still some gcc bug with compiling NEdit. NEdit apparently SEGV's; wish
I'd kept a non-debian compilation of it, because gcc's progress has been slow
of late to remove this stuff. :(
