The config files in xc/config/cf control what is built. Create a 
host.def with your customizations. For example, mine that just builds 
XWin.exe and supporting libraries looks like:

#define BuildLibraries YES
#define BuildServersOnly YES

#define XnestServer NO
#define BuildXprint NO
#define XprtServer NO
#define XVirtualFramebufferServer NO

This is run in a cut down source tree without fonts, docs, or most of 
the programs. You will need to run a full "make World" from the base 
directory to rebuild all the Makefiles etc. You can do "make" from 
xc/programs/Xserver to rebuild all servers or 
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin to just do XWin.exe.
