It's out of date and not included in the build. Instead, xf86DefModeSet.c is
built from vesamodes and extramodes using modeline2c.awk and *that's* what gets
built.
From bugzilla bug 13467¹:
Currently the xserver fails to build without this (now deleted) file, as the
Makefile tries to distribute it. The patch simply removes the reference to
modeline2c.pl.

From bugzilla bug 13467¹:
The modeline2c script is the only part of the Xorg server that requires Perl.
[This] is a simpler replacement that works with any normal AWK.

Bug was posted by Joerg Sonnenberger <joerg@NetBSD.org>.
xf86 drivers need to create RandR object in the PreInit stage,
before the ScreenRec is allocated. Changing the RandR DIX code
to permit this required the addition of functions that later associate the
objects with the related screen.
An additional change is that modes are now global, and no longer associated
with a specific screen. This change actually makes mode management cleaner
as there is no more per-screen list of modes to deal with.
This changes the RandR 1.2 ABI/API for drivers.
CFLAGS is a user variable, extracted from the environment at configure time
and settable by the user at build time. We must not override this variable.
Get rid of almost all uses of these definitions. They're still defined for
delinquent out-of-tree drivers, and also for the Mesa build. As well as
for miinitext.c. But largely gone.
xf86DefModeSet.c with FreeBSD make, where RM was undefined. While here,
make the build of xf86DefModeSet.c depend on its sources, so it'll
rebuild properly, and make it a normal CLEANFILE rather than a
DISTCLEANFILE, since the intention seems to be to build it at the
user's build time.
hw/xfree86/utils/ioport/Makefile.am
Add ioport and pcitweak utils from monolith hw/xfree86/etc dir.
Generate xf86DefModeSet.c from vesamodes & extramodes
Add apSolaris.shar to EXTRA_DIST
detection/configuration, DDX options. Make building of Xorg DDX fully
optional. Clarify and correct some help texts. Change all comments to
use dnl instead of #. Quote all tests correctly, and guard
pure-variable tests with 'x' (e.g. test $DMX = yes -> test "x$DMX" =
xyes). Since the DDXes seem to have pretty divergent extension support
these days, get rid of EXTENSION_LIBS, DMX_EXTENSIONS and
XPRINT_EXTENSIONS, and go back to building extension lists by hand in
the DDX-specific sections. Use portable POSIX constructs everywhere
(e.g. test foo && test bar, instead of test foo -a bar).
Clean up old cruft.
Set _XSERVER64 on 64-bit architectures, and use x86_64 for host_cpu instead
of amd64 (Jürg Billeter).
- Use x86emu on Solaris instead of vm86
- Better per-OS control over which xf86Kbd*.c and *Pci.c files to build
- Set various #defines to be defined or not on Solaris as needed
