You are perfectly right, and libXxf86dga is still only available as a
static library because its API is not stable. There is a Debian-specific
patch I did not post here that links to libXxf86dga_pic.a instead of
libXxf86dga.a when found. I don't think anyone ships _pic static libs
apart from Debian, so I did not post it here.

Not AFAIK, but you're right, the additional ${allegro_libs} is not
really needed.
