How come Xsun doesn't use any of the shared libraries? -lXau and -lXext for two examples ... /jordan

The Makefile appears to link libraries in from the X source tree, which makes it more of a pain to get shared libraries linked in. My guess is that it does so in order to permit you to build all of the MIT stuff in one lump, without having to build and install the libraries first. Is this the explanation, or is there some deeper explanation?

Er, the clients get build in that same pass. They get shared libraries.
