It seems that imake-4 (part of XFree86) is installed on your system.
Shared library version of libXaw is defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/X11.tmpl.
X11.tmpl is installed by imake-4 or imake-6. Please confirm output of the
following command.

% grep "#define SharedXawRev" /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/X11.tmpl

If imake-6 is installed, the output should be "#define SharedXawRev 8.0".
If the output is "#define SharedXawRev 7.0", you should uninstall imake-4
and install imake-6.

So please don't blame the emacs port. :-)
