I've noticed an issue with php-gd also not working (on Mandrake 10.0), 
complaining about a missing s_popen function when the extension is loaded.

Trying to rebuild the php-gd SRPM fails and config.log contains:

configure:2483: checking for XpmFreeXpmImage in -lXpm
configure:2502: gcc -o conftest -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe 
-march=i586 -mcpu=pentiumpro   -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lX11 conftest.c -lXpm   -lm 1>&5
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so: undefined reference to `s_popen'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

$ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so
libxpm4-devel-3.4k-27.2.100mdk

SRPM for that RPM is xpm-3.4k-27.2.100mdk.

Trying to rebuild that SRPM results in:

gcc -m32 -o sxpm -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i586 
-mcpu=pentiumpro       -L/usr/X11R6/lib   sxpm.o -L../lib 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so: undefined reference to `s_popen'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [sxpm] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/local/src/development/mark/rpm/BUILD/xpm-3.4k/sxpm'
make: *** [all] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from 
/usr/local/src/development/mark/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.74198 (%build)

Both XPM and XFree86 contain a patch that implements s_popen, so I'm not 
sure what's going wrong:
XFree86-4.3-CAN-2004-0914.patch.bz2
xpm-3.4k-CAN-2004-0914.patch.bz2
