The makefiles that I get with "xmkmf" for contrib clients have a
problem with library dependencies.  Here's what I'm doing:

  (The MIT libraries and clients have all been installed in the
  standard locations.)

  % cd /src/X11R4/contrib/clients/xrn
  % xmkmf
  mv Makefile Makefile.bak
  imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/lib/X11/config
  % make
  ... all the sources are compiled with no problems ...
  Make:  Don't know how to make -lXaw.  Stop.
  % 

It is fairly easy to see what the problem is, by looking in the
Makefile.  It includes the lines:

           XAWLIB = 			  -lXaw
          DEPLIBS = $(LOCAL_LIBRARIES)
  LOCAL_LIBRARIES = $(XAWLIB) $(XMULIB) $(XTOOLLIB) $(XLIB)

xrn: $(OBJS) $(DEPLIBS)
	 $(RM) $@
	$(CC) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LDOPTIONS) $(LOCAL_LIBRARIES) $(LDLIBS) $(EXTRA_LOAD_FLAGS)


So "xrn" eventually depends on "-lXaw", which make doesn't know about.
This problem is the result of -DUseInstalled, since it doesn't affect
the MIT clients.
