Well, I asume that you made a new Makefile with xmkmf from the Imakefile
-- since all libraries are in /usr/lib you could change the
USRLIBDIR definition in the created Makefile from /usr/X386/lib to /usr/lib
and your Makefile should work.

My personal solution for this problem was to catch the problem at the roots
and edit the file /usr/X386/lib/X11/config/Imake.tmpl. I changed the lines
that defined UsrLibDir to
#define UsrLibDir /usr/lib
