Just set LD to the proper place (as above)

you may also have troubles with the X11 libs revision. For some reasons,
xfree86 gets in the way (the configure set x-include and x-lib to
these). Just comment the 2 lines which do it.

Then it will built (although some install pbs occur with the mwm.exe/mwm
name pb.

In any case, Lesstif builds, but I still have some pbs with
XmFileSelection, so I am looking for people who successfully built and use
Lesstif.
