I'm pretty sure it does build all the different components the same way
that you would without buildroot. Look at the packages in
buildroot/package/x11r7/ it should all be there, the libraries are prefixed
with xlib_ If you want to change only the version, then just change it in
buildroot/package/x11r7/xserver_xorg-server/xserver_xorg-server.mk. It's
pretty easy.
