I think this is the bug: you have managed the impressive feat of
compiling the Xm library with prototypes enabled.  Unfortunately,
there's a routine with two parameters out of order in the prototype
part of its definition.  Look at lib/Xm/GeoUtils.c/_XmGeoArrangeBoxes,
and reverse the order of the pH and pW parameters in the prototype
definition (lines 1518 and 1519).  This is actually usually reported
only against MessageBox (hence the "I think" at the start).  Anyway,
try it.
