libX11.so issues on Sparc Solaris

[Raymond Meyer <raymond.meyer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I think there is an issue with lib/libX11.so libraries on sparc solaris.
Some applications that link to libX11 fail with the following error:

Undefined                       first referenced

I think the problem here is attributed to the fact that libX11.so should have been 
linked with: -lsocket -lnsl, those libraries contain the missing symbols.

As you can see below, solaris' /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so is linked to libsocket and
libnsl
