It should /never/ be necessary to create soft-links like that, you just have 
to edit your extensions/configure/CONFIG_SITE file or if you're sharing a 
build tree between multiple architectures the appropriate  
extensions/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.<arch>.<arch> files to tell the build 
system where the relevant libraries can be found.  Once you have correctly set 
the X11_LIB and/or MOTIF_LIB variables (and the _INC variables if necessary) 
for one product (say medm) it is then correct for any other products (say 
StripTool) that you build in the same extensions tree.

This should be the more friendly solution that Hinko was asking for.
