I do not know what's happened, but the attached file should go to
the x11-servers/xorg-server/files/ directory and overwrite the original
patch-FreeBSD.cf. Basically, it adds the --export-dynamic flag for
the linker to make global symbols in Xorg to be visible to the
dlopen()/dlsym(), since this is the immediate reason for failures.

I will try to look at the objformat changes and
will try to undestand why it broke the things. But this will be done
only tomorrow.
