They don't link dynamically (see below).  Static is fine.

  -L/usr/local/lib -lalleg -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lm -lvga -lggi
  -lXxf86dga -lXxf86vm -lXext -lX11 -lesd -lasound

Something that may be something: I passed options to `configure', to
make it build both static and dynamic libraries ("allegro-config
--libs" defaults to static).

I know, but they're not.  Here's some linker output:

bash$ gcc -Wall -o t t.c allegro-config --libs --shared
/usr/local/lib/liballeg-3.9.34.so: undefined reference to `XFreePixmap'
/usr/local/lib/liballeg-3.9.34.so: undefined reference to `ggiFlush'
/usr/local/lib/liballeg-3.9.34.so: undefined reference to `XShmDetach'
/usr/local/lib/liballeg-3.9.34.so: undefined reference to `snd_defaults_card'
