I tried to compile the new X11R6.1 release under FreeBSD 2.1-release.
Compilation went fine, but the X-servers I compiled (Mach64 and Svga)
doesn't work like they should. It seems like the string-functions are
screwed up. When the servers start, they complain about the font paths,
and it seems that the different paths are separated with a comma, not
a colon. Also, several other programs just print gibberish when they
are started.

During compilation, I got several warnings about 'int to pointer conversion
between incompatible sizes', or something to that effect. Could this be
the reason for all the problems? The gcc-version is 2.6.3.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
