Stefan, Thanks for the help. I did manage to build X11 and the X11-extras
package. I removed the extra libs from cabal and aliased ghc to ghc -LX11.
The problem seems to be with the lower case "-l" that the compiler was
passed due to extra libs. The installation happened all right.

Now, however, I have another problem during xmonad build; presumably
these is related to the work-around I figured?
