Well, the file was actually missing, so I took it from the libXpm distribution
and put in the right place.

I changed the lines

        156: X_LIBS =   -lSM -lICE
        157: X_EXTRA_LIBS = -lXaw -lXpm -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 
        158: X_PRE_LIBS =  -lSM -lICE

of client/Makefile to

        156: X_LIBS =   -lXaw -lSM -lICE
        157: X_EXTRA_LIBS = -lXpm -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 
        158: X_PRE_LIBS =  -lSM -lICE

and rebuilt the entire package, but it didn't have any effect.
