You would start to look which package in OE provides libxt, i.e. which
package installs it into staging. You can start with grepping for that,
but there are some packages which either install stuff into staging with
'make install' (which is not good since it pollutes the staging area) or
are just missing a couple of instructions in do_stage(). Since the X
intrinsics (sp?) library is a pretty common library, I rather suspect
that ghostscript needs to depend on xlib or needs to be customized not
to build xlib dependent things. Which way to go depends on the
maintainer of that package... if there is one ;)
