The solution was to comment out EXIMON_TEXTPOP=em_TextPop.o from the
Makefile. The em_TextPop.c source provides duplicate definitions of
a few subroutines that are supplied by libXaw and eximon.bin builds and
appears to work fine without it.

This is documented in the Makefile, but it's a mystery to me why
em_TextPop.c's duplicate definitions are necessary at all. Seems silly
when eximon.bin _has_ to link against libXaw.

Ciao,
