xorg-server fails to cross build from source, because its configure
checks for CLOCK_MONOTONIC with AC_RUN_IFELSE and then figures that for
cross compilation CLOCK_MONOTONIC likely is not available. It then gives
up, because wayland requires CLOCK_MONOTONIC. I think this is a bad
default as it always breaks cross compilation. I propose resorting to a
weaker assumption for cross compilation where only the presence of the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC declaration is checked and it is assumed working. Since
wayland requires CLOCK_MONOTONIC anyway, the check really is only a
sanity check. After fixing this, xorg-server cross builds successfully.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
