I don't think you need gcc (although it can't hurt to have it). Thomas includes
configuration files for 'xmkmf' (which constructs a makefile from an Imakefile).
For 'xloadimage' all that's needed is, get the distribution, extract it,
and provided that you have gcc 'xmkmf' followed by 'make'. That should do it.
The above mentioned errors come from -lpt not being included at link time. That's
the STREAM pty library needed for local connections in the Xlib.
