Get a newer version of xpm, from any X archive site. XPM 3.2g or 3.3 will do.

(is this in the install docs? maybe the install could be smart and check
what version it is?)

On every compiler I've seen, the order _is_ important. -L only takes
effect for libraries later on the command line, and multiple -L's are
only processed as they are found in the command line.
