OK, so has anyone compiled the canonical list of patches/gcc options/makefile
mucakarounds/gotchas/whathaveyous to compile at least the core X V11 R3
distribution with GNU C?

I'd like to be able to fire up make World and walk away from it, and not have
it bomb on 7 different files, and then have those 7 different files be
different on a different (Sun) architecture, because of option flag incompat-
ibilities and the like.

I've seen various patches (e.g. from Casey Leedom), a few of which have
overlapped fixes I've found and made myself, but still many files cause gcc
to have a heart attack.  Other people have hinted at having used gcc to build
X, so there must be a resource pool there somewhere.

Note that I am trying to be as strict as possible; i.e. using gcc switches
like `-O -fstrength-reduce -finline-functions -fcombine-regs' and starting
off using `-ansi -pedantic', at least until I got beaten into submission.  :^)
