I ran "make distclean", then configure as you requested above and then
src/config.h did include "#define HAVE_STRERROR 1".

A subsequent compile/link worked fine.

Oddly, after that, I tried make distclean and then configure with the
previous options I used:

./configure --prefix=/local --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib 
--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --with-x-toolkit=yes

and it still included HAVE_STRERROR in config.h.  At this point I am unable
to reproduce the original problem.
