The file to run X are not sufficient for compiling other programs
against the X libraries. The file INSTALL says:

  ... you need the include files and libraries for the X Windows System
  (X11) including the Xaw library ...

So, if you have some installed rpm's for X11, please add the rpm's for
development, too. In most cases, the names of these rpm's end in -devel.

It is a pity that many linux systems come "crippeled" without full
support for compiling own programs.

Sure, configure has disabled everything that depends on X11. Obviously,
this has worked very good :-)

Don't add this --x-top. That's not needed.

I don't know if it is you or me. Do you have any idea how to improve
the prerequisites section in INSTALL?
