We have seen this before, and fixed it, at least on my installation. The fix was to ensure that the X11 headers were declared before Defn.h, which they are in 1.9.0 but not in 1.8.1. So your XFree 4.4 installation is not liking the way those header files are defined, and we need you to disentangle this.

It appears that the #If NeedFunctionPrototypes compiler directive has been removed from Xlib.h and Xutil.h in Xfree86 4.4. All the prototypes containing the offending _Xconst are now being processed. R 1.8.1, which built successfully under XFree86 4.3, fails under XFree86 4.4 with the same error messages.
