This crash is due to a check for broken systems [which probably don't
exist anymore, linux a.out!] ... that's why we check for
XGetFontProperty after failing to find XOpenDisplay.

configure with --with-x11=no if you don't have the libraries, or find
out why configure can't find the libraries if you do.  (My bet is that
you haven't installed the -dev packages yet.)
