Yeah, I should have noticed this in config.log:
configure:22092: checking for XineramaQueryVersion in -lXinerama
configure:22127: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -DUSING_AUTOCONF=1   conftest.c 
-lXinerama -lXext -lX11   >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

I reordered some of the checks in configure.ac so that:
- There's a separate check for libXext.
- The libXrender and libXrandr checks are split up.
- X_PRE_LIBS and X_EXTRA_LIBS (from AC_PATH_XTRA) are taken into account. 
They're probably useless for most modern Linux systems, but make the checks 
more complete.

I'll commit the patch to git.

That's strange. We shouldn't need to call AC_PROG_RANLIB because it's not our 
logic that specifically needs it, it's libtool. And AC_PROG_LIBTOOL will 
(looking at libtool.m4) call AC_PROG_RANLIB. If you run autoreconf, does the 
problem go away? Autoreconf should trace through all of configure.ac and 
understand that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL will provide AC_PROG_RANLIB.

If not, please file a bug report so we can track the problem.
