My fix is the one I've found so far that works 'universally'.

That it involes is this change in the 'Imake.cf' file:

You will find a section that looks like this:
#ifdef linux
# define MacroIncludeFile <linux.cf>
# define MacroFile linux.cf
# undef linux


Modify it to look like this:
#ifdef linux
# define i386
# define MacroIncludeFile <linux.cf>
# define MacroFile linux.cf
# undef linux

(obviously this fix is only good for 'i386' machines)

However I ran into a huge problem with my pgcc compiled X. I don't know
where this problem originates from, but it required recompiling *all* my X
apps. The programs could not load the 'old' libraries. This is not much a
deal except for programs like netscape and star office for which I have no
source. I got those working again by restoring my 'old' libraries to
/usr/local/oldX11lib and writing a wrapper script for netscape, etc... to
put an LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oldX11lib for them and they work again.
I do not know the reason why that might have happened such, but it did. If
anyone has any theories I'd be interested. I don't know if it's "fixable"
or not.
