Nope, this is a problem on your system.  Xmd.h is included from
xf86vmode.h (or is on a "modern Xorg implementation"), so the question
is why this is failing on your system.  I'd suggest checking xf86vmode.h
to make sure that _is_ including Xmd.h (there should be a #include line
just after the copyright header), and that it is available on your
system (it's in /usr/include/X11 on my systems).

Cheers,
    Robin
