I was directed to this patch at https://github.com/openembedded/oe-core/blob/master/meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-driver/xf86-video-omapfb/0007-always_include_xorg_server.h.patch and it fixed this bug for me.
I hope it helps.

I came across this same patch on my own searching before coming here.  It works for me too.

Also, it looks like this is not the first time this occurred.  Same happened with x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse in bug 527190.

Can confirm.

Reproduced this issue on the Raspberry Pi B+ when emerging xorg-server.

xf86-video-omapfb fails to build with this exact error. This patch fixed it.
