Generate libX11.a in the usual manner with the additional flag "-W0,-pic".
Then run the enclosed script to convert the position-independent-code
verion of libX11.a to a shared library;  for the upcoming 2nd Qtr. 91 PSK,
we'll name the beast /lib/x11lib.r4   The current R3 version is /lib/x11lib

Query: When you folks link an X application, do you let the "Globally Known
       Table" resolve your entry points (assumes /etc/sys.conf was setup), or
       do you utilize the link option -A inlib,/lib/whatever to bind your
       executable to a named shared library ?
