That's quite a prolific set of arguments passed to ./configure. Out of
curiosity, why so many?

My libXinerama-dev package (Debian unstable) also includes
/usr/lib/libXinerama.a, but configure checks both the shared object and the
archive (preferring the shared object) for symbols, so that shouldn't be an
issue. Are all the libXinerama.so* files/links set up correctly? No permission
issues there?
Another thing to check is gcc's search directories. Run gcc with the
-print-search-dirs argument and make sure that /usr/lib (or some path to it) is
present in "libraries".
If that doesn't lead anywhere, try running ./configure under strace ("strace -f
-o strace.log ./configure") and see what file IO is performed when accessing
libXinerama, and why it might be failing.
Lastly, I could modify the libXinerama check to make use of the pkg-config file
that ships with libXinerama-devel (/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xinerama.pc). Does yours
reference "-L/usr/lib" (or some variant of /usr/lib including variables
enclosed within braces) in "Libs"?
