What is happening is understood.

I changed Makefile like this:

*** Makefile.org        Sun Aug 21 13:38:48 2005
--- Makefile    Sun Aug 21 13:37:04 2005
***************
*** 296,300 ****

   xdvi-xaw.bin: $(kpathsea) $(objects) $(LIBT1DEP) $(LIBGUIDEP)
!       $(kpathsea_link) $(objects) $(LIBGUI) $(x_link) $(LOADLIBES)

   squeeze.o: squeeze.c
--- 296,300 ----

   xdvi-xaw.bin: $(kpathsea) $(objects) $(LIBT1DEP) $(LIBGUIDEP)
!       $(kpathsea_link) $(objects) $(LIBGUI) $(x_link) -Wl,- 
u,_XGrabServer -Wl,-u,_XUngrabServer $(LOADLIBES)

   squeeze.o: squeeze.c

I have to use -u because that is what my ld wants.

A real solution would have this fixed in xdvik such that the order of  
X11 libs is correct for non shared libraries.
