           Summary: Xsun server doesn't build
           Product: xorg
           Version: CVS_head
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: SunOS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: alan.coopersmith at sun.com


Recent changes such as damage and composite have broken the build of the Xsun
servers for the ancient Sun cg-series graphics cards.  Since the Xorg server 
builds on Solaris and the old server was already documented as deprecated and
no one has stepped up to maintain it, discussion on the Xorg mailing list lead
to the suggestion to just document it as not buildable and switch the default
Xserver build on Solaris/sparc to Xorg.   The patch which I'll attach in just a
minute does exactly this and allows the entire tree to build successfully on
Solaris/sparc using gcc without any host.def settings (other than HasGcc).  (It
still doesn't build with Sun compilers, due to reliance on gcc format assembly
code, but I don't think we can fix that in time for this release.)
