Some investigation reveals that the error is due to macro __bitwise being 
undefined at "/usr/include/linux/pci.h:454".  The reason for this is that 
"linuxPci.h" includes (indirectly) "sys/kd.h" which suppresses the inclusion 
of "linux/types.h" where the macro is defined. Then linuxPci.h includes 
"linux/pci.h" which uses __bitwise to typedef pci_power_t.

Any ideas why this happens? Could it be linux-libc-headers or glibc being 
too old to build xorg-server 1.5.1 or is it something else?
