[Buildroot] Error building libX11 on Buildroot 0.90.2 stable

What I read was the keysymdef.h header is in the XProto package which
it indicates is available.  Any idea?

Taking a look at config.log shows the reason:

configure:23596: checking keysymdef.h
configure:23601: result: /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h

So it searches for and finds the host header. I'll look into fixing
this, but in the mean time you can install it on your host (something
like x11proto-core-dev) to continue.

These things unfortunately sometimes happen. I have had
'setup-buildbot-with-builders-on-minimal-systems' on my todo list for
a while, and once that's running it should be easy to detect this kind
of errors.

It should be fixed now in r25881, could you give it a try? Notice that
we still need to compile libX11 for the host for the host versions of
cairo/pango/libgtk2 needed to compile libgtk2.
