After adding this to my library Makefile

SRC_CC_OPTS += -I$(shell $(GHC) --print-libdir)/include

(required when compiling greencard code), this worked well.

If it still works for ghc builders, I think what you have is enough progress 
that it should be committed.

I haven't yet tried setting up libraries/X11/mk/*.mk as you suggest...
This may have some bearing on the following:

It still wants to install into $(libdir) not $(libdir)/HSX11 (or some other 
suitable subdirectory).  The install rules in target.mk make it quite clear 
that it will install into $libdir.

One could argue that installing directly into libdir is what users of 
configure expect $libdir to mean - but it feels wrong to me.

Assuming that was meant to be "shouldn't", the reason I have to change the 
setting is this line in boilerplate.mk

  FPTOOLS_TOP := $(TOP)
