The dependency comes from using Motif 2.1 which requires the printing
extension of X, libXp, which is new as of X11R6.3, I think. Motif 2.1
has been used for several releases of the jdk, so I'm surprised this
seems to be such a big deal. If you look in the redhat-4.2/updates
directory, you'll find the XFree86 3.3.2 rpms for libc5.
