I'm kind of touched that it took you so long to notice.

I still think this will prevent the executable from running when it's  
installed on a machine that has no X11 libraries.  Maybe GNU/Linux is  
immune to this, but not architectures where I know for certain that  
the dynamic loader eagerly resolves transitive dependencies  
regardless of needing to resolve any symbols within them.  (The XLIBS  
dependencies belong on vm-dpy-x11.so, not on the VM itself.)   
However, evil intentions may have caused me to exclude some  
configurations from building properly -- including internal  
(statically-linked) B3D support in the VM.

I have flagged your message as important and put it in the bugs  
queue.  Assuming I can reproduce the problem I will fix it.  If I  
can't reproduce the problem then I will at least figure out a way for  
you to tell configure to add the dependencies you need to the link  
command.
