I linked against the standard X Window System (X11) which for many years 
now have been called "X.Org X11".

Do you really think there are still systems on this planet which are 
running such monstrously old X11 distributions like XFree86?

My system is very old (as I personally am a very conservative person and 
don't upgrade unless I _really_ have to) --- it runs Fedora Core 6 --- the 
same distribution I was using for at least one and a half year which is a 
whole epoch by computer terms. So the binaries I provided can be 
considered very "conservative".
