Indeed.

In this case, the culprit is a buggy (or bit-rotted?) configure script for
Cygwin.  A library search path is not set up so, well, the script ends
up with an empty one.  As a result, there's no path to put after the
-L flag.  Since libX11.dll.a is in /usr/lib, you should be able to get away
with just eliminating the -L flag completely from the Makefile (I didn't
test this).

In general, the best place for X specific questions with Cygwin is the
cygwin-xfree list though.  That's where the most knowledgeable X folks
are.
