I think you might prefer to take a stab at "xboard" instead of "xchess".
"xboard" will work as a front-end to gnuchess, and it compiles pretty
easily in my experience.

prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/xboard-3.0.*.tar.gz  (or whatever the current one is)

"nm" is your friend.  Read the man pages for "nm".  

In this case, it appears that "Xchess" might not be an R5 application...

% nm -o /usr/X11R5/lib/lib* | grep XDeleteAssoc
/usr/X11R5/lib/liboldX.a:XDelAssoc.o:00000000 T _XDeleteAssoc
/usr/X11R5/lib/liboldX.so.4.10:00000be8 T _XDeleteAssoc

...since "liboldX" is where those symbols live.
