Synopsis: X11 packages not working on IRIX

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: dholland%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Sun, 19 Dec 2021 01:39:40 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
In 2008 trying to get native X libraries from IRIX to work was tilting at
windmills. Today there's just not a chance, between churn and the fact that
x11-links isn't able to work with older versions once there's been an API
depends change. The latter is arguably a bug, but keeping this PR open isn't
going to help with it. (And it's not a trivial issue.)

Use pkgsrc X.
