I'm compiling xserver with --enable-xglserver, but I get an error compiling
hw/kdrive/vesa/vm86.h.

In file included from vesa.h:29,
                 from vesa.c:27;
vm86.h:116: error: field `vms' has incomplete file
make[3]: *** [vesa.o] Error 1
....blahblahblah....

I changed #include <sys/vm86.h> in #include <asm-i386/vm86.h> (I use gentoo on
amd64) and it worked but gave me another issue, complaining about

/tmp/cc3mVDyi.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc3mVDyi.s:486: Error: suffix or operands invalid for 'push'
/tmp/cc3mVDyi.s:486: Error: suffix or operands invalid for 'mov'
/tmp/cc3mVDyi.s:486: Error: suffix or operands invalid for 'pop'
make[3]: *** [vm86.o] Error 1


Any answer ?

The VESA mode selection code will only run in 32-bit mode as it executes the
BIOS which is x86 code.
