It’s been 3 days since their message and it hasn’t happened yet, so
perhaps we should simply run autoreconf.

Thoughts?

BTW, xorg-server is a build-time dependency of address@hidden (for test
purposes), which is the main reason why it has so many dependents.
Perhaps it would be fine to keep using 1.9.12 for GTK+.  That way, we
can update xorg-server without rebuilding the world.
