Please tell which branch are you using, and if you changed the ProjectRoot 
in the host.def file or not.

Have no idea..!

This is just trying to clean everything. Attempt to do "make World" again 
and see if it gets over it.

You just need the DRI CVS and a working XFRee >= 4.1.x installed on the 
system as the DRI source is partial and reads some headers from there. If 
you changed ProjectRoot to another thing (e.g., /usr/X11R6-DRI) then 
before you start to compile you need to do:

	mkdir -p /usr/X11R6-DRI
	cd /usr/X11R6-DRI
	lndir ../X11R6

so that when building the needed files are found in the right place.
