I get the following error when compiling Mozilla with xlib: -- rm -f libgfxxprint.so /usr/local/lic/SUNWspro/bin/CC -I/usr/openwin/include -mt -O -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -I/usr/openwin/include -G -Qoption ld -z,muldefs -h libgfxxprint.so -o libgfxxprint.so xprintutil.o xprintutil_printtofile.o nsDeviceContextXP.o nsDrawingSurfaceXlib.o nsFontMetricsXlib.o nsRenderingContextXlib.o nsGfxFactoryXP.o nsXPrintContext.o nsRegionXlib.o nsGCCache.o -xildoff -L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib -lXp -lXext -lX11 -L../../../dist/bin -lxpcom -L../../../dist/bin -L/usr/local/src/building/moz/mozilla/dist/lib -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl -lxlibrgb -L../../../dist/bin -L../../../dist/lib -lgkgfx -L../../../dist/bin -lxpcom -L../../../dist/bin -L/usr/local/src/building/moz/mozilla/dist/lib -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl -lposix4 -lsocket -ldl -lm ld: fatal: file nsDrawingSurfaceXlib.o: cannot open file: No such file or directory ld: fatal: file nsFontMetricsXlib.o: cannot open file: No such file or directory ld: fatal: file nsRenderingContextXlib.o: cannot open file: No such file or directory ld: fatal: file nsRegionXlib.o: cannot open file: No such file or directory ld: fatal: file nsGCCache.o: cannot open file: No such file or directory ld: fatal: File processing errors.

I'd submit a patch, but I can't seem to grok how your linking dependencies are done, and I'm in a hurry right now.
