make will fail like this:

If one takes a close look one can see a line beginning @X_CFLAGS@ above.
This is an error in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xcursor.pc which looks like this:
--
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
xrenderlibs=-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXrender -lX11
xrendercflags=-I/usr/X11R6/include
xlibs=@X_LIBS@
xcflags=@X_CFLAGS@
Name: Xcursor
Description: X Cursor Library
Version: 1.0.2
Requires: xrender
Cflags: -I${includedir} ${xrendercflags} ${xcflags}
Libs: -L${libdir} -lXcursor ${xrenderlibs} ${xlibs}
--
xlibs and xcflags are already included in xrenderlibs and xrendercflags,
so xlibs and xcflags can be safely set empty. This is an upstream bug in
the configure.ac file that can be fixed using the attached patch.
