Out of curiousity, why do you need X11UseLocalhost=no no anyway?
As to the fix, if you have access to config.h during the build you can
just delete or comment out the "#define DONT_TRY_OTHER_AF" line.
If you don't (easily, eg if you're building an RPM) then you can try
the patch below.
BTW the origin of the DONT_TRY_OTHER_AF hack was a bit over 7 years
ago:

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
