Subject: Shared lib X for 386bsd?

I've installed Joergs' Shared lib for /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin for 
those small programs that benefit the most. The bigger programs do not 
benefit much.

I tried to compile X utilities especially xterm but I cannot even find the
sources despite having the X11r5 distribution. Which directory does 
xterm belong to? 

I'm cross-posting to comp.os.linux because there are a lot of misunderstanding
about 386bsd there.

I'm not against linux because it serves a niche market or use. Also as
back up. 386bsd is much bigger and moves in different directions but it
does not prevent people from porting lessons learned in linux to 386bsd.
Joerg's shared lib is one of them.
	shared lib is not for everyone. It creates a lot of problems. I need
it for a small system but I have lot of problems installing it but it may be
worth installing the x utilities.
	From my benchmark the shared lib versions are slower than the 
unshared ones. Maybe it has to jump further?

This is my unshared X directory. 
the X server does not need 3 megabytes.
