Nope :-)

The fix is to correct autoconf so that it does not add -I/usr/openwin include
to the include path, but allow the compiler to see them in /usr/include via
the symbolic link that is 

nathan@manao:165>ls -ld /usr/include/X11 
   2 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          22 Dec  2  1998 /usr/include/X11 -> ../openwin/include/X11/

The workaround for this is
./configure --x-libraries= --x-includes=

[I beleive the symbolic link is standard on solaris?]
