Rawhide X does compile out of the box, if it is compiled
properly. Properly being by reading the ample comments I've put
in the XFree86 spec file before building, and configuring it
appropriately.  I put those comments in there, as well as the 
various build options, specifically to make life easier for other 
people.  I dont need the comments, I know what the options do.

I can wrap up all of our patches with an "ifnarch alpha"  and
just remove all Alpha patches if they are causing problems for
people, and just ship raw X sources on alpha.

If people perceive pristine as the best working solution, just
let me know, and I'll %ifnarch alpha the whole patch set.

At any rate, if one chooses to use the broken as hell stock 
XFree86 code, dont bother reporting bugs in bugzilla.
