When static linking, order is very very very important. -lX11 needs to
be moved after -lXext so that the dependencies from libXext are known about
when the linker is reading in libX11 and deciding what part of the static
library it needs to copy into your binary.
(Not having to worry about this is just one of the many reasons that
shared libraries are much better than static linking.)
