AFAIK libGLU is build by default (except on Solaris, that issue was
fixed in Xorg trunk after X11R6.8.x was branched but I am not sure
whether the patch was ported back) when you build the GLX/OpenGL code
(take a look at xc/config/cf/ and search for |BuildGLULibrary|).

Questions:
- Which OS/platform do you use ?
- Do you build with |BuildGLXLibrary| set to |YES| ?
- Do you build with |BuildLibraries| set to |YES| ?
- Do you have a C++ compiler (libGLU is a C++ library) ?
