Hello, here is a minimal patch (patches both src/Makefile.am and src/Makefile.in) to fix the FTBFS. It replaces the wrong usage of $binary_LDFLAGS with the correct $binary_LDADD to pass additional libraries to link with.
I'm not sure if -lX11 should be kept in LDADD (from #554058) as I could build the package without the -lX11 in LDADD in Ubuntu precise. Michael
