Gentoo uses a more compatible patch, which is what was applied upstream:

The simpler patch from Gentoo is adequate since we do not require backward compatibility with older libx11 -- we just need to compile with libx11-1.6.x.

The patch referred to in comment #1 is a patch to the configure.in file and so requires autoreconf -- but I find that autoreconf fails (because our autotools is too new?).

The patch that works most simply for now is taken from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471604, the same as sdl_x11sym.patch given above.
