I really have no idea how to fix that.  Sorry if I say something
obvious, but the Unix link editor is a nasty hack.

Yes, but I had to cheat, so it's not going to be much help to you.

After building libdps.a and libdpsi.a, I did a partial link using some
magic spell, from memory,

  ld -r -o dps.o libdps.a libdpsi.a

and then linked the X server by hand.

(I was using kdrive, not the XFree86 server, but I don't think it
matters much.)
