Hm, hard to say.  I did try 22.0.91, and I don't think I had that
particular problem.  But for some other reasons I abandoned the build.

Now with 22.0.95, I can fix the issue for me by applying this patch:

*** emacs-22.0.95/src/Makefile.in       2007/03/02 16:39:05     1.1
--- emacs-22.0.95/src/Makefile.in       2007/03/02 16:42:22
***************
*** 405,411 ****
  #if HAVE_XFT
  #undef LIB_X11_LIB /* XFT_LIBS includes -lX11 */
  #define LIB_X11_LIB
! address@hidden@
  #endif /* HAVE_XFT */
  
  #if HAVE_XPM
--- 405,411 ----
  #if HAVE_XFT
  #undef LIB_X11_LIB /* XFT_LIBS includes -lX11 */
  #define LIB_X11_LIB
! address@hidden@ -lX11
  #endif /* HAVE_XFT */
  
  #if HAVE_XPM

and I get a working Emacs binary with Xft support, at least when I
build in 32-bit mode.  I have been using that binary for a couple of
days and it worked very well (I'm using it right now).

When I tried to build in 64-bit mode, "make bootstrap" failed:

    make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

When I do the bootstrap in 32-bit mode, and just "make" in 64-bit
mode, I do get an 64-bit Emacs binary, but the binary dumps core.
Unfortunately I don't have a working 64-bit debugging environment.

Note that this is all using Sun's C compiler (Sun C 5.7, not the
latest & greatest).  I haven't tried to build using GCC yet.
