Great, that makes sense and I can/will do it.  OK, I stopped my build to get the
 Mesa stuff straightened out, and found from the listing that it wasn't building
with gettext.  I have gettext on my machine, so I was a bit puzzled.  I noticed
(in checking where the gettext.pc was) 2 items:  First, my gettext version was
slightly out of date, and the gettext build didn't have a .pc file in it.

OK, I updated my gettext install to 0.17 (I think that was it), but I can't
update the .pc from nothing, and I can't see any refs to getting the lib info
into the build from the Xorg Wiki modular build instructions.  I need some help
to get it liking my gettext (it's installed with all the rest of my libs, in
/usr/local/lib).
