It was very difficult to get things correct for that system, this is
most unfortunate.

Hopefully this is a typo.  There should be a leading blank before the
--x-includes parameter.

You're going to have to get your hands dirty and poke around a bit.
--verbose and --extra-verbose are your friends.  It will help to
look into config.log and see the code of the tests that are failing.

The failed test for XtOpenDisplay looks bad.  Try compiling the test
case by hand and see what results you get.  Also look for openwin
braindamage.  The previous version of configure had a difficult time
distinguishing sparc linux from SunOS with Open Windows.
