latest xorg port compiles but does not run on sparc64 [workaround]

[Rainer Hurling]

As Jiawei Ye mentioned two days ago there is a thread at freebsd-ports@ 
discussing the same problem for i386 (and amd64).

Obviously the dlopen-error occures only on younger CURRENT-systems after 
doing 'make delete-old-libs'. In this cases /usr/bin/objformat and 
/usr/include/objformat.h have been deleted.

Then after recompiling of xorg-libraries and xorg-server the described 
error appears.


For me this workaround performs well:

- Copying the two objformat files (see above) from another machine into 
/usr/bin and /usr/include

- Compiling xorg-libraries and xorg-server again


Now the newest version with security patches works like a charm ;-)


Eygene, is there any chance to adjust Xorg to work without objformat on 
CURRENT?

Thanks,
Rainer
