no, it does not matter.

the standard prefix on a debian box is /usr, on some other  
distributions it is /usr/local
if you want to keep it completely separate, you can choose any prefix  
(i.e. I use /opt/MPX to keep it in the same directories as my MPX  
binaries). All you tell with the prefix is the location where you  
want to install xcb.

Mind you, Donnie Berkholz pointed out yesterday that you can compile  
libX11 without the XCB dependencies (use the --without-xcb flag),  
which should save you some headache.

Yes, it finished :). And all the work was for nothing, xserver is  
switched to git too now.
