I think this is more of a linker/loader problem.  Not only that, but I
don't think it's Linux specific.  I believe you'll run into similar
problems on most Unix variations.  Actually, I think that in many cases
your app will fail to link at all if you have -lXt before -lXm.  I could
be mistaken, as I haven't used many non-GNU based systems lately.
