When i attempt to emerge x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3 in Gentoo/FreeBSD, it displays errors, look like this (build.log):

Have a look at this bugreport about xorg-server failing to build on non glibc systems.

I'm terribly sorry to say that my Gentoo/FreeBSD is unable to apply patch file that provided by Jose Quinteiro which is
1.4.0.90-compile-non-glibc.patch for x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3 while i am compiling this package manually (./configure && make && make install) and it still displays same error and as the bug report mentions that freebsd is lack of glibc which is masked because it requires certain linux features.

Moved from Desktop Environments to Gentoo on Alternative Architectures.

Did you make a cross compiler? I'm having the same troubles. I created a cross compiler, though I still get the exact same error message as the first post.

Did you ever get it to compile? I've almost got it to work with the patch. Not quite though.
