I did get some help with my last set of errors on irc. In particular,  
Carl said "But all you need here is headers from a library new enough  
to allow cairo to compile."

Which then leads me to ask will it run on that machine though? or is  
it that Cairo is smart enough to dynamically figure out how much of  
it's linked xrender support it can use?

Anyway, for now, I just decided to disable it. So I'm using

./configure --prefix=/pps/tgriggs/BuildCairo/ --disable-ft --disable- 
fc --disable-xlib-xrender

I have to modify cairo-xlib-screen to not include <FontConfig/ 
FontConfig.h>. And it appears to compile everything in cairo proper.  
But when it gets down into util/cairo-trace, it has issues. I've  
copied the error's below the sig. Is there anyway to easily avoid it  
even compiling the util stuff? I looked in ./configure --help, but  
don't see a --disable-util ability. I don't think I necessarily NEED  
the utils. Or perhaps there's a more refined make target I can use to  
just compile the library?

This is all on the 1.9.2 snapshot.
