Do I need a host.def to build X?

[Alan Coopersmith]

You shouldn't need a host.def (or at least nothing more
than an empty one) to build on most common platforms,
but without knowing what errors you hit we can't tell what
went wrong or why.   I doubt many people have tried building
the latest Xorg on such an old RedHat release any time lately,
so there may simply be a bug there no one has noticed.
