OK, panic over.

I should have been using objdump -T instead of -R, at which point I found the
missing functions in (logically enough) libXext.so.

Adding this to the makfile, it all compiles - download it to the palmtop and
Iam mildly astonished to find that it 'just works', although the compass and
tilt thing talk up nearly half the screen!

so credit to the authors (probably largely ol) for portability.

The basic runes are:
export CC=arm-linux-gcc
export OBJDUMP=arm-linux-objdump
./configure --includedir=/usr/arm-linux/include --libdir=/usr/arm-linux/lib

Then src/makefile needs the xcaverot_LDADD line changing to
xcaverot_LDADD =    -L$(libdir) -lX11 -lXext

I'll try and nobble things to fit the PDA screen and send an xcaverot patch
