Looks like a bug in many *lib.rules configuration files. The LinkBuildSonameLibrary() macro doesn't build the export/lib directory first. (The LinkBuildLibrary() macro used by non-shared libs does). It currently works with other shared libraries because the 1st built library is precisely libXau and its normally built non-shared only, so its build rule will indeed create the export/lib directory. If the 1st built library is shared and since the shared target appears 1st in Library.tmpl, the directory isn't created. This should be fixed.
