this is actually not enough.  i'm not sure exactly how to avoid
this problem, if it is the same i saw, but try this.

i had weird build issues on netbsd-8/amd64 and pkgsrc where i
saw similar problems, or perhaps both being linked into the same
end result.

i eventually tracked it down to the way that xsrc has different
shlib versions than pkgsrc (xsrc is generally higher), but having
the old version still around in my /usr/X11R7.  eg, pkgsrc has
libfontconfig.so.1, and xsrc has .so.2 now.  however, my system
is old and had the old xsrc libfontconfig.so.1 still in
/usr/X11R7/lib and the buildlink phase was linking some files
from pkgsrc and some files from x11 for it!

i removed these old files, and rebuilt x11-links from scratch
and then my builds were sane again.  it was critical to rebuild
x11-links _after_ the removal.

FWIW, i posted about this last week:

see above, perhaps they're just missing the old libs.

HTH,
