This looks familiar, a Xserver that supports both pseudo and true color 
visuals (not usual under XFree86, but most X terminals support that). 
Try to use the command line option "-drvopt defvis", as in

   ./x01c -dev xwin -drvopt defvis

If this works, please report back, we are trying to see if a pattern develops.

Thanks also for your other detailed "configure" report. I'm sure it will be 
usefull to our "configure" experts.

Thanks,
Joao
