You had the same thing some iterations ago.
-lSM  tells the linker to link against libSM.dylib (in this case; because of the -dynamiclib if i am correct).
This .dylib is in /usr/X11/lib

You may have forgotten to  put the line

		LIBS=-L/usr/X11/lib

into the config.site file.

I can't think of anything else.
