The reason behind this problem coming up now is the change from
AC_CHECK_LIB to PKG_CHECK_MODULES for getting the selinux libs. When
we were using AC_CHECK_LIB, -lselinux -laudit were inadvertently being
set in $LIBS, which meant they where linked to every binary in the
source tree. Now, with PKG_CHECK_MODULES, we're explicitly using
$SELINUX_LIBS, and apparently not doing a good enough job of it.

Is X at least linked to the right libraries? If not, then I think what
we need to do is add them Xext/libXextmodule.la. Something like the
attached patch should work, but I'm not sure it's the right thing.
