It's minus the one that wouldn't compile.

The other one is part of the package version the submitter is using:

  * Apply patch by David S. Miller to implement support for RGB->BGR
    colorspace conversion in the X server's fb layer.
    - debian/patches/072_Xserver_fb_convert_RGB_to_BGR.diff

A few weeks ago, I asked for an updated version of the other patch:

  * Apply patch by David S. Miller to implement XAA and Render support
    in the sunffb driver.
    - debian/patches/073_sunffb_xaa_render_fb_support.diff

If you could get a version to me that will build I'd be happy to apply
it.

However, the missing symbols that are being complained have to do with
DRI and drm, not XAA or Render.
