Yeah, I reformatted the entire slice, then reinstlled DragonFly, and I'm
still getting the same problem.  I'm going to play around a bit tonight
and see if I can massage a build out of it.  If I get it to build, I'll
let you guys know.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

hum, maybe I'll make a symlink for the dumb linker

yellow# cd /usr/lib
yellow# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXThrStub.so.6 ./libXThrStub.so
yellow# ld -lXThrStub
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not 
setting start address

Now you can compile your XFree-4 port......
