The configuration process for Xfree86-4.0 fails to detect one's
system setup properly. In my case I had to make a symlink named
"1-pc-linux-gnu" in /usr/lib/gcc-lib, pointing to my real
compiler location, i686-pc-linux-gnu, then everything went
fine. (This was after noticing that XFree was looking for
headers under 1-pc-linux-gnu -- why, I don't know.)
