All, please.

Consider the following case:  xdbedizzy is in lib/Xext.  xdbedizzy has Xprint 
support, so it needs libXp built first.  xphelloworld is in lib/Xp, but it 
needs to link against -lXext.  Bootstrap failure.

xc/lib/ should not contain any executables, full stop.  Otherwise it's really 
xc/lib-with-some-app-so-be-careful.
