Build error for the Xorg R7.6 in Ubuntu 10.10

[Chen, Dennis (SRDC SW)]

I found that the  following build instruction doesn't work in my ubuntu 10.10:
=================================================
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-August/001826.html :

Quickstart for those that do not use jhbuild:

export PREFIX=/opt/xorg
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig
export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH
export ACLOCAL="aclocal -I $PREFIX/share/aclocal"
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/util/modular/ util/modular
echo "util/macros" > built.modules

./util/modular/build.sh --clone -p -f built.modules -r `tail -n 1 built.modules` $PREFIX
=================================================

For the last cmd above, my system will give the below error:
>
root at LinuxFGL:/home/dennis/xorg_test/util/modular# ./build.sh --clone -p -f built.modules -r `tail -n 1 built.modules` $PREFIX
'prefix' appears to be an option

Usage: build.sh [options] [prefix]
Options:
...
>

Some env variables in my system as:

XORG_CONFIG=--prefix=/usr              --sysconfdir=/etc              --mandir=/usr/share/man              --localstatedir=/var
ACLOCAL=aclocal -I /opt/xorg/share/aclocal
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/xorg/lib
XORG_PREFIX=/usr
PREFIX=/opt/xorg
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/xorg/lib/pkgconfig
...

Does anybody encounter this issue before? I am trying to build the xorg R7.6 and debug the Xserver these days.
Thanks!

http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide

but really, as long as you've got all the dependencies installed it's a
matter of ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr and running make.
