I like your 'repair daemon' idea! It will stop eating cpu when nothing changes...

Still stuck with libXdamage? I managed to compile libXdamage-1.1.1 for the Iliad (as an exercise, inside scratchbox). The dependencies are a nightmare / challenge ;-) I didn't test it yet with your 'proof of concept'.

This is what I did, I hope it helps you in your quest! (approx, I'm not sure I logged everything)

./dl-and-install.sh xfixes.h
./dl-and-install.sh xinerama.xml        #xcb-proto_1.1
get libpthread-stubs_0.1.orig.tar.gz & patch
./dependencies-helper/unpack-n-patch-n-build-install.sh libpthread-stubs_0.1.orig.tar.gz
./dl-and-install.sh xslt.h              #libxcb-1.1/
./dl-and-install.sh Xext.h              #not sure if this one is needed
./dl-and-install.sh xfixesproto.h
./dl-and-install.sh Xfixes.h
./dl-and-install.sh libXdamage.so

The resulting dependencies (in scratchbox) are:

[sbox-iliad: /usr/local/lib] > ldd libXdamage.so
        libXfixes.so.3 => libXfixes.so.3 (0x00000000)
        libX11.so.6 => libX11.so.6 (0x00000000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00000000)
        libXau.so.6 => libXau.so.6 (0x00000000)
        libXdmcp.so.6 => libXdmcp.so.6 (0x00000000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00000000)
        liberdm.so.2 => liberdm.so.2 (0x00000000)
        liberipc.so.0 => liberipc.so.0 (0x00000000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00000000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)

I attach libXdamage.so.1.1.0 (it's quite small)
