I agree.  I honestly couldn't figure out how it was being built
up.  I'd be happy to hear from anyone who could explain it to
me.

I didn't think X_PRE_LIB were being used anymore, but they
certainly do appear in X_LIBS after the -L options.

Sorry, I may not have been clear.  I need them to follow one of the other
libs in the X_EXTRA_LIBS define (could be Xaw that requires them).

They need to follow the library referencing them so the dependency pulls
them in.

I think the IRIX and Cygwin problems will both be fixed by getting the -lSM
and -lICE near the end of the link line (and shouldn't cause problems on
other
systems).
