Problems!
I am trying to build the last version of the UMS-compatible xf86-video-ati driver. Seven years ago, the developers removed UMS support altogether, and placed the UMS version into another branch of their project. It was updated to fix a bug six years ago, and never touched since. Obviously, this was left to "bit rot", and I can't, for the life of me, build it on a recent Linux system with an up-to-date xorg version.
You can find the original version here, and a copy of it on my Github.
First, the compiler complained about the lack of a "xaa.h" file. This is normal, since XAA support was dropped from the xorg-server package in 2012. What I decided to do was to download the last XAA-supported version of xorg-server (1.12), and copy all the XAA header files into /usr/include/xorg.
That seemed to be a step forward, but I'm getting more errors now:

You'd think that this problem is something the Adelie team themselves, would be interested in remedying, as the iBook G3 is mentioned under supported hardware on their wiki. I have a bit more free time on my hands than usually lately, so if you do need any help with testing, etc, I'm your guy.
