Actually i never used it under X11, but it is very important for
us to have it to run cross-compilers (which are only available as
DOS binaries) integrated with native development environment under
FreeBSD.
I am not sure how many people use it this way. But if it is not
build in buildworld, it will break after kernel updates and I will
have strong wind blowing in my face defending our FreeBSD development
environment at work.
A possibility could be: 1. build it for i386 only, 2. build it via
buildworld without X11, regardless if X11 exists. If I want to use it
with X11, it is interactive and I can make it for X11 by hand - it will
not break on compile runs at some hour at night.
So, my vote against removing.
