Where did you obtain the patch from? I haven't heard of a
3.3.2.3 patch release to XFree86.

From which code base are you trying to build mwm?

The XFree86 3.3.2 that we ship with NetBSD-Athena doesn't come
with Motif libraries or mwm. I'm surprised that a patch to XFree86
would change that. Again, what patch is this?
