I've got the same problem also, and can confirm it is a
-current/XFree86-3.9.18 problem. (Probabably mainly an XFree86
problem, I presume.) Apparently, the XFree86 build process isn't
perfect either, since certain options in xc/config/cf/host.def can
cause the "make install" to fail. One set of options I had in
host.def caused the make World to finish successfully. But when I did
the ensuing "make install", it began compiling the aout shared libs,
which it didn't do during the make World. (What the hell?)
So, it appears that this snapshot can be very "touchy" depending on
what you put in host.def. Changing one minor thing can throw the
whole XFree86 distribution out of whack. I finally got it right,
though, and I'm getting the errors you describe.
