I'm trying to build xorg-server from git, in order to bisect some bad behavior.
It appears the tarball releases and what's in git aren't the same, though. Right out of the gate, I get:
configure.ac:42: error: must install xorg-macros 1.2 or later before running autoconf/autogen configure.ac:42: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 ==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
Is there any straightforward way to easily build packages from bisect-identified revisions so that I can properly test?

You will need xorg-util-macros installed to build from git. The tarballs contain pregenerated configure and Makefile.in files, so you don't need xorg-util-macros in that case.
