Imake appears to be broke in XFree86 v1.1. I recently compiled a new version
of X, and it works fine. I am putting my latest version of imake up for ftp
later on today, since it appears to work fine. The problem with the old
one, is that it appears to not call cpp with the -traditional flag which
is needed in order to define XCOMM correctly.

As far as libm goes, there should be a libm.a in /usr/lib. If not, I would
suggest downloading it from the lib 4.2 stuff.
