Perhaps you talks about this chunk:
@@ -701,7 +752,7 @@
#if UseElfFormat
# ifndef DoLoadableServer
-# ifdef HPArchitecture
+# if defined(HPArchitecture) || defined(MipsArchitecture) || defined(SuperHArchitecture)
# define DoLoadableServer NO
# else

I only add about SuperHArchiecture and MIPSArchitecture
when xfree86 4.2.0 deb test package was released. I don't added
about HPPA architectures, they are exists before 4.2.0 (for example
please see #001 patch of xfree86_4.1.0-16 source)
And it just means `HPPA, MIPS (mips and mipsel) and SuperH
(sh3,sh3eb,sh4 and sh4eb) Linux are not supported XFree86
Dynamic loader, so we will disable the loader on these
architectures. We want to build XFree86 drivers will be
linked staticaly to XFree86 server binary'.
We will build and provide normal (not debug purpose) X
server package for those architectures.

XFree86 loader for HPPA is not implemented yet (and perhaps it will
be added to randlph's TODO list ;-). SuperH still does not have the
loader, too. (I don't know about MIPS detail. But they do not
support yet, too)
