You can't rebuild just XWin.exe.  You have to build the whole tree first, as
that builds all the headers and libraries.  Then, and only then, can you
build XWin.exe (which is built when you build the whole tree).

Once you've built the entire tree, you can rebuild XWin.exe by:
1) cd xc/programs/Xserver
2) make XWin.exe
