I tried to get things working with minimum work.  It looked like
bootstrapcflags might help... but adding reentrant there didn't seem to
work.

I'm gonna come in to work tomorrow, hopefully I will be able to compile
X then.  Someone sent me a patch for getting it to compile, but the patch
won't apply.  Can you make a patch?  Or do you just suggest compiling
until it stops, then fixing that particular problem and restarting?
