libX11 build failure

[Alan Coopersmith]

The AM_SILENT_RULES macro in automake 1.11 should be setting
AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY already.   In my installation it's in
/usr/share/aclocal-1.11/silent.m4 :

case $enable_silent_rules in
yes) AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY=0;;
no)  AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY=1;;
*)   AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY=m4_if([$1], [yes], [0], [1]);;
esac
AC_SUBST([AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY])dnl
