Are you setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH? Mesa will first try to find the X
libraries through pkg-config, which will be true for you since you're
building for Xorg. If you aren't putting $youdirectory/lib/pkgconfig
at the front of PKG_CONFIG_PATH, pkg-config will only search in the
system paths, /lib and /usr/lib. Read docs/autoconf.html in the mesa
tree.
