I haven't been able to use the XFree86 4.4.0 (linux-ix86-glibc23)
binaries; the system-in-question is a RedHat Linux 9 box.
If I do a 'make World' from the 4.4.0 source from ftp.xfree86.org,
then it seems to build correctly; I get the following message:
"Full build of XFree86 version 4.4.0 (29 February 2004) complete."

downloaded from './binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc23' from
ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/ via ftp
"ls -la" of '/dev' with first few tty(?)-in-question --
