Regarding the XA_UTF8_STRING symbol: it comes with a recent [1] libXmu
library (X11 utility library) for which we don't yet have a CSW pkg.

xterm _also_ ships with an implementation of XA_UTF8_STRING, but when it
finds that X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING is defined (set by our Xlib.h), it assumes
the system has an implementation of its own. In our case however, the
system doesn't have have it, thus the build breaks. The stock Solaris
Xlib.h which i used for the build a few months ago, doesn't set
X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING. That's why the build was fine.

Technically, xterm's assumption about the XA_UTF8_STRING presence might
be wrong though, as it only checks for a Xlib UTF8 #define and then
assumes the presence of a libXmu function. Guess i might have to talk to
upstream.

Still not sure about the Fc* symbol woes.

[1] Solaris 10 has a libXmu version that comes with XA_UTF8_STRING,
Solaris 8 and 9 don't.
