Yah, I see what you mean now.  Looking at libtool's doc, I'm going to do a
180 here and say that the appropriate flag *is* -Wl,-R${X11BASE}....

The reason I say this is that "-Wl," is interpreted by libtool itself, and
reduced to -R.  For platforms on which "cc -shared" is appropriate, "cc"
will accept "-R" as an argument.  For platforms where the linker is "ld
-Bshareable", the -R option will be passed to "ld" directly, so it's still
OK.
