Ray,

I also had a very similar problem with -lXt, the only difference is that I
used altgcc for compilation. Btw, what is the prefered way to use it?
I installed xlib6g, xlib6g-dev, xlib6, altgcc, libc5-altdev packages and
put  in Makefile the following
CC = /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin/gcc
LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib/libc5-compat/
LIBS = -lXt -lXext -lX11
and the line:

$(CC) -o bla *.o $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS) 
gives me the same error: can't load -lXt library...

Thanks.

Alex Y.
