Freshly built, is it on a machine which previously successfully built
Libreoffice ?, or is it on a fresh install ?

This suggests that the code in vcl/unx/generic/app/randrwrapper.cxx was
compiled with USE_RANDR and without XRANDR_DLOPEN. I see -lXrandr *is*
in the link line, but at the beginning again as is the current style. I
suspect it might be the positioning of -lXrandr on the link line, which
will reportedly get fixed with the gnumake4 work.

As a workaround, you could try configuring with an extra
--disable-randr-link (do a make -sr clean in vcl first)
