You might not have the X11 headers. I assumed those where available
everywhere and didn't even specify that as external_dependencies, but
I guess I forgot that most distros don't like to ship headers along
with their libs.

I think the unpack utilities are behaving differently. I can't find
that path inside the .tgz I downloaded earlier!
