There are no obvious runtime dependencies on libX11, libXaw, libXmu,
libXt, libXpm or libXext (via either ldd or lsof on a running Xserver).

As an initial check, you could try removing those dependencies from the
Makefile and see if xorg-server builds and runs in a clean environment.
A more thorough check would require checking against all input and
video drivers.
