	Hello, Dennis. If I recall correctly, doing a debug version of the server 
makes to not define XFree86LOADER in the code, thus making a static server. I 
do not know enough of the build system to know if simply defining 
DoLoadableServer=YES makes override the former decision.

	MAybe someone in the list wants to comment further.

	I hope that it helps. Best regards,
