You can mostly avoid scattering self build XFree86 files over your
filesystem by building a static server, just add:
"#define DoLoadableServer NO" in xc/config/cf/host.def. All you have
to do is to copy xc/programs/Xserver/XFree86 to an appropriate
location then.
I needed a few small patches to work around endianess problems(e.g.
swapped colors in Xv,...). These can be found at:
