rebuilding XFree86

It has been a long, long time since I last rebuilt the XFree86 rpms ... at 
that time it did not use buildroot.

So when I saw the need to rebuild the updates/testing version of XFree86 for 
the x86_64, I was not looking forward to the amount of time it would take (I 
figured all afternoon).  Much to my surprise, it was done in less 90 minutes 
(how much less I do not know).

Now I know that processors have gotten faster but the last time it seemed to 
take about 4 to 6 hours.

I do not know if it the faster processors (Opteron 140), code changes in 
XFree86, or local Red Hat stuff but this was a very pleasant surprise.
