For everyone's information.
I pulled down the sources to xfree86-1 (with apt-get)
unpacked the original distribution tarball, found the module in the
source tree. Tried the makefile as shipped but it didn't work.
The comments in the makefile point out that it is simple to roll your
own makefile if that doesn't work. I just ended up compiling it by
hand (using all the parameters that make would have passed to gcc)
stuck agpgart.o in the right spot, configured X and off it went.
