I don't think it is.  I erroneously stated the reported error.  The
compiler complained that it couldn't find -lX11.

  c++ -g  -lX11 -lXext -o o/xo o/ldisplay.o o/lwindow.o o/lfont.o o/wbutton.o o/wtext.o o/wdialog.o
  +o/lhash.o o/larray.o o/res.o o/dmalloc.o o/dither.o o/lpicture.o o/loupe.o o/stats.o o/res_l.o o/res_y.o

Unfortunately, the reporter omitted the rest of the build log.  The
autoconf script should have found the X11 library, but it looks like
it didn't.
