Thanks, Thomas.

Bernd,
I am not sure you understand what is being fixed.
You are incidentally correctly that the "-lX11" could be applied to all 
platforms, but this apparently is not desired.
DragonFly's linkers (ld.bfd and ld.gold) from binutils 2.22 have this 
default: --no-copy-dt-needed-entries

NetBSD and others have the opposite default: -copy-dt-needed-entries
This means the libraries linked to a specified library will also be 
searched if a symbol isn't found.  Since DragonFly doesn't recursively 
search, it needs the omitted libraries to be directly linked.  Right now 
NetBSD wants the recursive, indirect linking capability.
