Yes, I has a symbolic link for libX11.so.4.10 laying around, and it
was found by ld... Making a link fully fixes the problem. I also built
a new set of binaries without the link. available from
ftp.laas.fr:/pub/NetBSD/XFree86-2.1/XFree86-2.1-bin.tar.gz.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Perhaps they should... Nobody in the XFree86 developpement team
thought about that before the release of 2.1.

I included Hung-Chi Chu's fix in the README.NetBSD on ftp.laas.fr.
Thank you for the feed back...
