Aha.  I should have guessed.  Every upgrade is a bus wreck.
I did as you said and then `fink selfupdate; fink update-all'
which ran all day (gobbling up several GB of disk space,
presumably to create new versions of all the .la files) and
finally died while building webkit:

ld: library not found for -lXt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libwebkit-1.0.la] Error 1

I tried running `fink selfupdate; fink update-all' over again
(sometimes it seems to take two passes) and (after another
couple of hours) got the same result.  So I'm back where I
started except with lots less disk space.  <sigh>
