Thank you, will try it

Well. I just wanted to try to build some minimal xorg and play with the
config settings. I already compiled a lot of monolith xorg's and apart 
from building problems (some combinations of DRI/DRM yes/no didn't work) 
I never encountered serious bugs!

Of course if I encounter bugs, I will rebuild with "normal" debug info 
before submitting a bug report. But until this day, xorg isn't buggy 
enough for me to build default with debug info. See this as a compliment!
