I think there are two things here: the first glibc warnings are just
warnings, and I have distributed binaries built with these warnings with
no problem. However you seem to be missing XFree86-static-devel (or
static-libs, I don't really know how it is under debian, for Mandrake
it's libxfree86-static-devel)
