I hadn't found that, thanks for the link. One thing that is missing in 
almost all of the info I found a copy of the config file that people used 
to build kdrive. I'm not subscribed to that list, perhaps you could ask 
those that have built kdrive to post their host.def config files and pass 
any replies along?
It is non trivial to get the options needed right. 

Here are the steps I used to build kdrive.
I installed the XFree86.src.rpm from the Red Hat 8.0 release to avoid 
downloading the source. Then I unziped and extracted the tar archive.
cd [path/to/archive/]xc/config/cf/
created a 'host.def' file containing: 
#define KDriveXServer YES
#define TinyXServer YES
#define XvesaServer YES
#define ProjectRoot /usr/X11R6
#define BuildLBX YES
#define BuildDBE YES
#define KdriveServerExtraDefines -DPIXPRIV
#define BuildRandR                 YES
#define BuildXInputLib             YES
#define Freetype2Dir               $(TOP)/extras/freetype2
#define Freetype2LibDir            $(TOP)/exports/lib
#define BuildXTrueType             YES
#define BuildScreenSaverExt        YES
#define BuildScreenSaverLibrary    YES
#define SharedLibXss               YES
#define ServerXdmcpDefines
#define XfbdevServer               YES

cd ../../
make World
cp programs/Xserver/Xfbdev [to the target system]/usr/X11r6/bin/

As already mentioned, the target system already had the full stock glibc 
and XFree86 packages installed.

The defines above could probably use some work, but did allow me to build 
the servers. I came up with them from the suggestions on several 
different sites.
The only thing I've used so far is the server binaries. I plan to build it 
all again, linking against uClibc, then I'll make an rpm package for both 
Xfree86 and uClibc, and test it on a slinky install.
