It's not about the lib name, it's about finding the library to link
with. A sequence of directories are checked for:
libXm.a
libXm.dll.a
libXm.so*
libXm.sl
libXm.dylib
Perhaps the name of the library changed? On my system I can find
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXm.a
The check hasn't changed for a long time. It can be found in
src/configure.ac around line 2960.
