    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.

Not exactly.  It's a result of a change from R3 to R4, separating out
"libraries" from "dependencies".  The MIT client Imakefiles define both
DEPLIBS and LOCAL_LIBRARIES explicitly, e.g.

        DEPLIBS = XawClientDepLibs
LOCAL_LIBRARIES = XawClientLibs

or more verbosely,

        DEPLIBS = $(DEPXAWLIB) $(DEPXMULIB) $(DEPXTOOLLIB) $(DEPXLIB)
LOCAL_LIBRARIES = $(XAWLIB) $(XMULIB) $(XTOOLLIB) $(XLIB)

In config/Project.tmpl there is a fallback hack for when DEPLIBS isn't
defined, to use LOCAL_LIBRARIES instead (unless shared libraries are used).
Clearly, this doesn't work perfectly.

Change xrn's Imakefile to use one of the above two forms.
