The following makes me wonder if some distribution requires the
XFree86 libraries.

From src/ChangeLog:

2003-02-22  Pavel Tsekov

        * acinclude.m4 [AC_G_MODULE_SUPPORTED]: New macro.
        * configure.in: Test for gmodule.  Don't link mc with libX11 if
        gmodule is supported.

2002-12-23  Pavel Roskin

        * configure.in: Enable X11 support by default, use --without-x
        to disable.

So, does 4.6.0 by default require it ? 2003-02-22 is after
the release.

Well, it's up to the distribution maintainers. I don't know
what SuSE did.
