Maybe it would be better to solve that problem. regmach64.h is included from
mach64.h i think, into mach64im.c.

There is an #ifdef FBDEV around the whole regxxx stuff. Do you build an fbdev
server on sparc or a normal one ? There should be no reason it don't works.

Also one question is what kind of stuff will be included in the upstream source
? Are you also a xfree member ?

If we cannot find another solution, i will do that.
