[Buildroot] xterm fails to compile

[Frederic Bassaler]

Hi everybody,

I'm currently trying to compile xterm (Buildroot 2011.02) but it fails :

On another note :

I was able to generate a working embedded i386 X.org + Blackbox wm
system, but it seems that it must be done in several steps :
- first build a bare Xorg
- then add the Xorg Drivers and needed utilities

otherwise, some packages may fail to compile because of dependencies
not working (eg. xf86-input-driver would require xorg-server, but
xorg-server wasn't compiled before)
