For whatever reason, this change is not (yet?) in the cvs tree.

Maybe it' a shot in my foot, but have you tried the following,
described in the install-manual from /emacs/mac/

D'oh! Sorry about that, it says so right in the Subject line but I
still missed it.  I use xemacs as my X11 emacs client, and I don't
always remeber that not everyone does this...

As you've since found it, gnu-emacs needs static X11 libs in osx.  I
don't know why that is, but it's always been true.

Because I forgot.  It's checked in to the CVS now.
