Details

On Fedora 19 x86-64, cross-compiling to x86.  configure succeeds, but linking fails with

/home/cjones/rr/mozilla-central/dom/plugins/test/testplugin/nptest_gtk2.cpp:111: error: undefined reference to 'XGetWindowAttributes'
[...etc...]

It turns out that -DNO_X11=1 is being set in autoconf.mk, which has the build not link agains -lX11, which provides these symbols.

So it appears that we're erroenously falling back on NO_X11=1, when instead we should have fail-stopped.
