gnuplot-5.1.9999 fails to build:

Unfortunately I am not accustomed to the autoconf business.
Adding  -lX11 in src/Makefile like
LIBS = -ldl -lm  -lz -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lcairo -lglib-2.0 -lX11

or might be a better solution:
Adding  -lX11 in src/Makefile.in like
LIBS = @LIBS@ -lX11

fixes the problem but most probably is not the best fix.

Created attachment 439076 [details, diff]
patched ebuild which works fine here

Patching CVS sources is very fragile, so could you please report this problem upstream!

Is this still an issue with gnuplot-5.2.2?
