The attached patch adds /usr/lib to the search path for those people using distributions that put the X libraries in /usr/lib instead of /usr/X11/lib. Note that it is still necessary to have the appropriate devel package for libxkbfile and libX11 installed in order to build properly.
This is all rather broken anyway, as the X sources are blindly assuming that the host system not only has X libraries installed but that they're going to be compatible with the utilities (from a potentially different X distribution) that are being built. A more correct solution would be to modify things to build a host version of libxkbfile and libX11 from the 6.8.2 sources and link to those (but that's a much larger endeavor, and if I'm going to work on that sort of thing I think I'll just start over with the newer 7.1 sources, which I'll probably look into shortly.)
But anyway, this patch at least allows X to compile on my system (Ubuntu Edgy)..
