egcs/pgcc seems to have a problem compiling libz.a properly,
the result is all utils that is link with this lib, including
the Xserver will fail misserably.

Solution:
Do these only AFTER "make World"

1. "make clean" on /.../xc
2. Re-generate/compile libz.a using gcc 2.7.x, eg. goto
   libz dir & do 'make CC="gcc -V2.7.2.x"'
3. "make" on /.../xc
4. "make install"

Note: there is one file somewhere in .../xc/...PEX called
 check.c which did not declare size of an ARRAY properly, fix
this manually.
