Sure.

You can change your .xinitrc file to start something that actually 
runs as a quick workaround.

Sounds like broken CVS, I'll check. Freedesktop's CVS server was down 
after the system was broken into just before Thanksgiving. There 
might still be some residual issue.

I can't reproduce your build failure. What OS version are you using? 
Its often hard to find the actual error message "make World" log as 
the build will continue past fatal errors and report success at the 
end anyway. I usually use:

grep -w Error world.log

Let me know (off list if you want) what errors this gives so we can 
diagnose the build problem. In any case, the patches you applied 
don't have anything to do with library builds, so there is likely 
some other issue with building libXaw.
