No not normal (same as with IBM's X11 distribution with AIX 2.2.1/RT,
so some of us are used to it), but with enough -I directives for the c
compiler, you should be able to eliminate much of the handtooling...
You should be able to create a custom imake template to take care of
this.

They belong to X11R4 which IBM doesn't ship, but the MIT distribution
compiles without much fuss... Personally I have all of the X11R4 stuff
installed under /mit just like everyone else to save the config file
customization...
