I actually did grep for /usr/lib64 in my ~/xbuild (where the source and
output trees live) and removed all references in the libtool archives (and
even in libtool itself!).  It didn't make a difference.  Somehow libtool
found those libraries again.  Note that it *has* found some of the libraries
in the right place and that's the most confusing part.  I'm not on Linux
right now, so I can't try diddling with xorg.modules, but I'll try that
again later this evening or tomorrow.

Does X.org require a specific version of libtool?  Perhaps the one I have is
incorrect or has some bug that interacts badly with X.org builds?  Again, I
can't check the version right now.
