I don't think this is a fixincludes problem.

I compiled X11R4 upto patch level 14 (I think) on SunOS 4.0.3c
(on Sun 3/60) with gcc-1.37.1 (did run fixincludes).  X ran fine.  

I recently compiled X11R4 upto patch level 18 on SunOS 4.1.1 
(on Sun 3/60) with gcc-1.39 (did run fixincludes).  X did *not* run
and gave the errors mentioned above.  In fact, I got suspicious when 
constype (mit/server/ddx/sun/constype) didn't give the correct answer
(it gave me "tty" instead of "gx").  So I compiled constype with cc
and got the correct response.  Then I compiled it with first doing a
"ln -s /lib/cpp /usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp".  Presto.  It worked.  Something
seems to be wrong with either gcc-1.39's cpp or with fixincludes,  I
would guess.
