Hmm. I am using the following patch, which I got from slashdot of all
places:
--- xc/config/makedepend/cppsetup.c.orig Sun Mar 12 15:47:41 2000
+++ xc/config/makedepend/cppsetup.c Sun Mar 12 15:48:21 2000

return 0;
do {
var = (*s)->s_value;
- if (!isvarfirstletter(*var))
+ if (!isvarfirstletter(*var) || !strcmp((*s)->s_name, var))
break;
s = lookup_variable (ip, var, strlen(var));
} while (s);
It did seem to fix the problem. If someone who understands cppsetup.c
could comment and it turns out that this patch doesn't in fact disable some
feature of cppsetup, I will submit this patch to XFree86.
Anyway, XFree86 4.0 built without errors on a potato system and I am
basically deep in the guts of it right now, figuring out how I need to
break it up for packaging.
