I have had a number of replies pointing out a workaround and quite a few
asking to pass on the information I get. It turns out this is in the
comp.windows.x FAQ list, and I apologise for not looking there before I
posted and there is a permanent solution as well as the workaround most
people seem to know about. Here is the section from the FAQ, courtesy of
David B. Lewis (dbl@visual.com):

Subject: 94) What is this strange problem building X clients on SunOS 4.1.2?
In SunOS 4.1.2 Sun fixed a shared-library bug in ld which conflicts
with the way X11R4 builds the shared Xmu library, causing these symbols to be
undefined when building some X11 clients:
_get_wmShellWidgetClass
_get_applicationShellWidgetClass
Compiling "-Bstatic -lXmu -Bdynamic" appears to work.
To solve the problem if you are using OpenWindows 3.0 (X11R4-based Xt), please
contact your local Sun office and request the following patches:
Patch i.d. Description
100512-02 4.1.x OpenWindows 3.0 libXt Jumbo patch
100573-03 4.1.x OpenWindows 3.0 undefined symbols when using
shared libXmu

Thank you David.
