After some more digging a bit more data:
 * I've seen the same error on two different builds now, it's always
   libXext.so missing when buildling libXi
 * looking in the libXext obj directory when the build fails, there
   is indeed no shared libXext in there (no .so, .so.6, .so.6.4),
   only the static version (.a and _p.a).

As far as I understand src/external/mit/xorg/Makefile, it calls do-lib,
and that target is made by the following code:

        .for dir in     tools lib/libXdmcp lib/libXau lib/libX11 lib/libICE 
lib/libSM \
                        lib/libXext lib/libXpm lib/libXt lib/libXrender 
lib/libXfixes \
                        lib/libXdamage lib/libdrm lib/libXxf86vm lib/libGL 
lib/libXmu \
                        lib/expat lib/freetype lib/fontconfig lib/libXp 
lib/libXrandr \
                        lib
        do-${dir:S/\//-/g}:
        .  for targ in dependall install
                ${MAKEDIRTARGET} ${dir} ${targ}
        .  endfor
        .endfor

This will indeed give a do-tool, do-lib and also do-lib-libXext etc.,
but I don't see anything that makes sore that do-lib-libXext is
is actually required before running do-lib.

Or is there anything obvious that I'm missing here?[1]
