Hi.
ELF version of XFree-3.1.2 has /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout subdirectory
for old a.out libs.
You'd want to upgrade to this version of X to compile in ELF.
Otherwise you'll have to edit Makefiles anyway, to set "-b i486-linuxaout"
and "-m i386linux" flags to gcc and ld resp.  You might as well edit the 
paths for your configuration, there's nothing wrong with that (usually :-).
Just add "-L/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib" to ldflags.
