followup on my Mod4 disappearing problem

I meant to send this to the list too but as it turned out I replied to 
Scott only.

Florent recently readded xkeyboard-config to the git tree, it seems it 
was removed together with xkbdata.
With all the recent changes I decided to do a clean install again. 
Building xorg-server fails in "Make install in xkb".
It fails on test -z "/usr/X11R6/share/xkb/compiled", proceeds to 
install-sh -d "/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/compiled" which ends in mkdir: 
/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/compiled: File exists. And the whole build 
bombs out.. Sounds like the same problem.

As far as I can tell xkeyboard-config creates a symlink from 
/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/compiled to /var/lib/xkb but doesn't actually 
create /var/lib/xkb. After creating it by hand the build proceeded 
without errors....

Unfortunately, after building xorg-server, I ran into the same error as 
Michael McCaskill mentioned:
