Ok, so this is another library link order problem.
The above patch isn't the "correct" fix, since as you say
they already appear, just in the wrong place.  (We currently
combine X_PRE_LIBS into X_LIBS, iirc.)  So the above will
include them twice, which could cause problems on some
other systems?  :-(

So calling them "X_PRE_LIBS" make sense.  But then we have the IRIX
problem that -lXaw is supposed to come _before_ -lSM -lICE ??

Sigh :-(
