There are two possible solutions:
1) Hack xmcd to not mount the CD read-only.
2) Hack the kernel to allow IOCTLs on read-only devices.
Since I don't have Motif sources, I chose the latter.

"Gee, it sure would be nice if someone who HAS MOTIF LIBRARIES could possibly
RECOMPILE XMCD so that it WORKS WITH A VANILLA 2.1 SYSTEM and MAKE IT
AVAILABLE AS A PACKAGE. Cough, cough.
