They must be defaults because I didn't pass all of them.

That was a good call, I figured out It was actually failing on missing
libXext-devel, adding that reported a failure on Xrandr which was
actually Xrender-devel.'
configure no succeeds, but I'm getting lots of garbage like,
cd . && /bin/sh /home/nathan/code/open-vm-tools/missing --run
automake-1.10 --gnu
lib/SLPv2Parser/Makefile.am:18: library used but `RANLIB' is undefined
lib/SLPv2Parser/Makefile.am:18: The usual way to define `RANLIB' is
to add `AC_PROG_RANLIB'
lib/SLPv2Parser/Makefile.am:18: to `configure.ac' and run `autoconf' again.
