I suspect it is built correctly.  What you are seeing is a misfeature
of ldd when dealing with shared libraries and, unfortunately, there is
no easy way to fix it.

The problem is that ldd uses the libc6 dynamic linker when it is run
on shared libraries because the older way I used to do it was broken.
As a result, depenencies are searched as if they are need for a libc6
program.  In your case, this causes the libc6-based X libs to be found
which also brings in libc6.

I'll think about the problem, but I'm not sure how soon or even if I
can come up with a good solution.
