Not quite what I reported, NetBSD doesn't need the space, it needs a -rpath.
Before, there was neither -rpath nor -R. Your patch makes things better
though!

checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include
checking whether -R must be followed by a space... no

and

X_CFLAGS =  -I/usr/X11R6/include
X_EXTRA_LIBS =
X_LIBS =  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -R/usr/X11R6/lib 
X_PRE_LIBS =  -lSM -lICE

so the -R made it, and all is well :-)

I can't check the opposite though: do systems that don't want rpath get
one now?

Cheers,
