    IMO, the X build procedure should instead use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    environment variable

My understanding is that -L paths are preferred over LD_LIBRARY_PATH at
link time.  So, if we follow your suggestion, we run into the possibility
of trying to link against old installed versions of the libraries instead of
the new ones in the build tree.  Not acceptable.
