Improved X11 driver, testing needed

I'm not one to take the simple path, to I have this observation:

It does seem to be better. The autogen.sh and configure stage seemed 
to go OK, which also leads me to believe that the directory tree I 
have is OK. But see below...

Did this.

But it -should- build, yes? ... or not?

During make, I get this shortly after it begins (in fact, this is my 
entire output):

[jeglin@orion molrsync]# make
Making all in scripts
Making all in buildtools
Making all in src
Making all in lib
Making all in hfs
Making all in hfsplus
gcc -E -D__ASSEMBLY__  -I../..  -I../shared -I../include -I./include 
-I- cache.S | m4 -s  | tr ';' '\n' > cache.o.s
gcc cache.o.s  -o cache.o
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.rodata+0x4): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [cache.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


I may not be clear on the concept. Everything (?) from zorn 
downloaded into a src directory that was placed in my molrsync 
directory (which already had stuff in it). It's not clear that I am 
to leave 'src' alone but I did because the successful autogen and 
configure suggests that the src directory should indeed stay as is... 
but can you clarify?
