Don't compile it from XFree86 source, use the source that you'll find
in /usr/xsrc/xfree/xc (after pulling down that source tree of course).
It builds cleanly.

The problem appears to be that the XFree86 source uses _POSIX_C_SOURCE
#defines poorly.  This is fixed in the NetBSD version of XF4.1

BTW, has anyone contributed these changes back to XFree86?
