I also ran into this problem while compiling fvwm for OS/2. This is
due to the fact that the X libraries are being linked before the
fvwm.a lib, which contains a reference to the X libs. My solution was
simply to change this line in makefile.h:

LOCAL_LIBRARIES = XPM_LIBRARIES $(ADD_LIB) $(XLIB) \
$(FVWM_SRCDIR)/libs/$(LIB).a
 
to:

LOCAL_LIBRARIES = XPM_LIBRARIES $(ADD_LIB)
$(FVWM_SRCDIR)/libs/$(LIB).a \ $(XLIB)

Maybe this should be changed permanently in makefile.h?
