X.org 6.7.0 compilation fails

[Vrihad Shoonya]

I am trying to compile X.org version 6.7.0 from source on Linux 2.4.18. I
tried to build it with custom host.def as well as the stock host.def. In
either ways the compilation fails at two points. First failure message is

----------------------------------------
I fix it by manually suppliying the include directory where Xlibint.h
resides. Then the compilation fails withe following messages

----------------------------------------

make[3]: *** [Xnest] Error 1

----------------------------------------

In fact libXext.so is not built at all. How can I make sure that this
library is built before the actual linking happens?

Thanks in advance
