[comp.unix.aix] X.V11R4 on RT/PC-AIX Ver. 2.2.1

Has anybody successfully built the server for X11R4 and IBM Megapel
display? I'm having a horrible time compiling the file 
./server/ddx/ibm/mpel/mpelData.c. It seems that AIX C compiler has
serious trouble in union initialization and forward declaration 
(the second is the main problem). The problem lies in the initialization
of two structures,  mpelScreenRec and mpelScrnPriv, each of which need
the address of the other at compile time to initialize its members.
I also had the problem of running out of symbol table and dimension space
of the compiler, but that was soon fixed with two compiler flags -Nn -Nd.

I would greatly appreciate if someone would tell me if I'm missing 
something very obvious or supply me with a patch/suggestion if there is
indeed a problem. Direct E-mail appreciated.
