I failed to compile X 4.2/4.1 multiple times too. I have a slow PC and 
compilation requires 2-3 hours (PIII-800). Nevertheless hurd seems to be to 
unstable, it crashs very often and I have to start from beginning. (I moved 
parts of the tree to another partition and linked everything to the new dirs, 
so there's no problem with the filesystem limit).

That's why I tried to crosscompile using Debian Woody/Linux:

I installed the following packages:
binutils-multiarch
gcc-i386-gnu 1.7-9 (from testing)
  contains crosscompiler tools i386-gnu-{c++,gcc,ld,...}
dpkg-cross (not usefull for crosscompiling X, but maybe for other packages)

I mount my hurd partition in /gnu (important for gcc-i386-gnu) and
copy 998_crosscompile.diff into debian/patches (after
dpkg-source -x xfree86_4.1.0-16.dsc)

xc/config/cf/gnucross.cf is a patched version of gnu.cf I use for 
crosscompiling.

Now I start
  dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -rfakeroot

This uses the local compiler to create the imake and ccimake binaries.
But this fails too after approx. 30 minutes.

The last error I get is
  GetDflt.c:126: too few arguments to function `getpwnam_r'
  GetDflt.c:128: too few arguments to function `getpwuid_r'

I get many warnings, such as
  ../../../exports/bin/bdftopcf: file not found
because X isn't well prepared for crosscompiling (i386-gnu-gcc was used to
compile bdftopcf, not gcc).

I tried not X 4.2 because the debian source package is toooooo large
to download. Maybe I will try the official X source code, instead of debian's
one, I hope the patches apply cleanly.

I hope this report is usefull for others, who want to crosscompile X.
If you have patches don't hesitate to send me your patches.

Regards,
Jens
