Save the time to laugh and better fix the bug,

As Steve Kargl also pointed out in his email he had to set
XORG_UPGRADE environment variable to make a manual build work.

I was short on time, while upgrading my applications.
I would have needed to either write down manually or
restart this whole process. Both wasn't suitable for me.

I didn't complain. I only thought that maybe a pointer to a
problem could be perhaps of help for somebody who did the port.

Next time I think twice when I see what crappy answers one gets
on a mailinglist.

Then explain to me the observations of Steve.

Did your vanilla empty system also had vanilla non existing
environment variables ?

Think a little about it.
