Hi,

acedb FTBFS with binutils-gold. Here is the relevant part of the build log:
...
gcc -g -o blixem blixem.o blxmain.o blxparser.o dotter.o dotterKarlin.o \
	translate.o -L. -lgex -lgraph -lgd -lfree `../w3rdparty/acedb-config glib-2.0 gtk+-2.0` -L/usr/X11R6/lib `../w3rdparty/libs-config glib-2.0 gtk+-2.0` -lm -lcurses -lreadline

/usr/bin/ld: ./libgex.a(graphgdkremote.o): undefined reference to symbol 'XFree'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'XFree' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [blixem] Error 1

In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to fix this FTBFS:
  * binutils-gold.patch: patch wmake/LINUX_64_DEF and wmake/LINUX_$_DEF to add
    explicit link with libX11. This fixes a FTBFS with binutils-gold.

We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
