Apart from what Alex added, make sure the relevant binaries get rebuilt
after you change the parameters passed to configure, in the worst case
by running 'make clean' first, and that the binaries you compile are
actually being used.

If the problem persists, please provide a new log file.

With xserver 1.16.0 or later, you should use glamor from the xserver
tree, not from the separate glamor tree.

I suspect some of the older components are just too old to support your GPU.
