Welcome to the club!

You need to explicitly include the X libraries, best with directory,
like so:

sed -i "s at EXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS += \$(MOZ_GTK2_LIBS)@& -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-lXrender -lX11@" \
      layout/build/Makefile.in

(Ignore the first line wrap.) This fixed it for me. Oh yes, change
/usr/X11R6/lib to where libX11 actually is.

Hope that helps!
