I am just guessing ... but maybe you installed the x11-links package from 
somewhere that didn't have libXau so link didn't exist or maybe it was 
installed previously to installing libXau.

Can you try uninstalling x11-links package, doing a "make clean" in 
pkgtools/x11-links and reinstalling it?

PR would be good. You may want to wait until we figure out the problem.
