Since a lot of other people requested the solution to my
imake problems (i.e "Make: Don't know how to make -lXext."),
I thought I'd share the solution with the Group (courtesy of
Mike Marques):

Nope it's Imake.tmpl which does not check if you are compiling in the
source directory or just from the installed stuff.
It makes any libraries it has to use as dependencies which of course
does not work. Following my signature are my fixes to Imake.rules.
No garantees but compiles started working for me after I fixed it.
Hope it helps.
Just in case you haven't seen it before:
Imake.rules resides in /usr/lib/X11/config
or <wherever you like to install X>/lib/config
