Dear Alan,
Yes, the first couple of systems I tried on (an old Mandrake 2005
and Ubuntu 6.06) failed with the --without-x option. I might try
including all libx-dev variants, or if that turns out difficult
wait for your configuration update (such update is not critical
for me at present, but I will be happy whenever its there.)

Dear Nils,
It can be tricky to remove that dependency. The configuration
switch --without-x works on some systems. The FAQ mentions
the problem briefly
Q) I have a Linux system and compilation ends prematurely saying that
it can't find the -lX11 libraries ... but I know I have X11
installed.
A) You may well have the X11 server installed but you haven't installed
the X11 development files. For example, on RPM distributions, you need
to install:
xorg-x11-devel (xorg-based X11 distros) or
XFree86-devel (XFree86-based X11 distros)
It could do with updating to reflect the package name in Debian-based
distros and the new name for xorg-based distros. It does give a
hint though. The books we're writing (1st proof stage) certainly give
more information - the web pages will soon be updated using the material
from the latter.
I intend revisiting that area of configuration at some stage.
Alan
