You could not possibly have followed the Contributor's Guide (CG)
instructions word-for-word because your build log doesn't have a header (see
below), it just jumps right into the clean step.  In the CG the build step
says:

make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux -DCrossCompiling=1"
IMAKE_DEFINES="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux" > World.log 2>&1

That causes the header information to show up in the build log... are you
running something other than 'make World'?

On a side note, I find it hard enough to remember all the
builds/flags/compilers/etc that I'm using.  I don't have any space in my
brain to store state information for other developers.  You have to feed me
some details everytime you ask a question, else you can assume that I've
forgotten those details.

I remember that I posted a broken build log because I forgot to set my path
before running the build.  I thought about posting a new log but I didn't
because no one seemed to complain much.

Oh, I know that the XFree86 folks are doing some stupid things with respect
to expecting certain XFree86 utilities to already be installed at build
time.  I bitched about this to the devel list at XFree86 and you know what?
I didn't get a single reply.  Not even a ``go away, you are annoying''.
Apparently no one else on the project things that you should be able to
bootstrap on a machine that has never had XFree86 installed.  Hopefully they
fix this before the next release.

I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf
to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS.
