Yes, but please show all the rest, starting with "checking for
XRenderQueryExtension in -lXrender" and ending with "$? = ..." after
the test.  The test program is printed _after_ the stuff I want to
see, in particular the error messages that failed the compilation of
the test program.

This the next test, so it is not relevant.

Strange, it looks like the test for XRender was not done at all...
On my system that test is between these two:

> checking for inotify_init1... yes
> checking for cairo >= 1.8.0... yes

It says:

  checking for XRenderQueryExtension in -lXrender... yes

Why isn't that test being run on your system?
