Yep,  NOTE there is no -lXpm even on your Solaris?
libXaw.a in XF86 4.0.x  needs to link to libXpm, which was missing from your
Imakefile.

Huh? Openwin?  I specifically asked you, On Solaris are you using Xsun libs
or
Xfree86 lib.  You said Xfree86 4.0.  Of course OpenWin libXaw does not need
-lXpm

Yes older version, in 99 xf86 was 3.3.x and there was no libXpm in it
