bug#15392: xorg-server FTBFS

[Andreas Enge]

I tried the following patch, setting some xkb-related options for configuring
xorg-server:

+                            "/share/X11/xkb")
+             (string-append "--with-xkb-output="
+                            "/tmp")
+             (string-append "--with-xkb-bin-directory="
+                            (assoc-ref %build-inputs "xkbcomp")
+                            "/bin"))))
     (home-page "http://www.x.org/wiki/";)
     (synopsis "xorg implementation of the X Window System")
     (description "X.org provides an implementation of the X Window System")

The same error occurs.

Inspired by nixpkgs, I also tried the following patch to xkeyboard-config:

+    (arguments
+     `(#:configure-flags
+       (list (string-append "--with-xkb-base="
+                            (assoc-ref %outputs "out")
+                            "/etc/X11/xkb")
+             "--with-xkb-rules-symlink=xorg,xfree86")))

Always the same error.

Should nix not have the same problem?
