<AWT Dev> [Fwd: Missing -L path for xawt]

It is a full build and there are some changes to the Makefiles. So far 
I've been unable to make any connection between the problem and my 
changes - hence the request for help in terms of what to look for.

Can someone confirm that:

a) "z defs" is an expected linker argument
b) .../lib/i386/xawt is, or is not, expected to be specific as a -L path

Thanks,
David
