Following up my own post...  The problem with savage_drv.o was due to a 
compile problem; that in turn was due to a cvs update problem at some 
point that created a savage_driver.c with conflict notices.  How that 
happened, I don't know, but deleting that file and redoing the CVS let 
things build properly.

But my base question remains:  what is the "right" way to build x11?
