Nothing should disappear or fade away, no new dll should pop in or pop-out
;-)
That patch was to see if it would have helped with xmkmf issue Andy had been
complaining.  My patch should not affect compling X sources tree.
Everything should compile as before.  If you notice something broken (i.e.
some dll or clients failed to compile etc)then let me know, otherwise I will
apply te patch for next binary release.  Notice in original cygwin.tmpl
XawClient libs link order was wrong?  XPM was after XLIB which suppose to be
before XLIB.

Can you try Commenting out #define SharedLibXpm YES i.e. change to

XCOMM #define SharedLibXpm YES

See if you can still compile libXpm.dll?  If it does then we will remove the
line #define SharedLibXpm YES from cygwin.rules.
