nope, make distclean doesn't work, as discussed in the original defect. I
certainly agree that rm /usr/X11R6/lib/* is evil :-)

and anyway the ebuild unpacks a tar of rev 7185 into a fresh directory, so
there's nothing to distclean away.

the problem is that /usr/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib are linked in gentoo,
supposedly because they are following FHS (the Filesytem Hierarchy
Standard), so you need to make sure that the new libs appear before
/usr/X11R6/lib in the linker options. I don't know how to do this, the
suggested change of

LIB += ...

to

LIB = ... $${LIBS}

doesn't work.

any ideas?
