commit 7f60f3428aa21d5d643eb75bfd9417cfabf48970
on libxpm hides a number of symbols. However a couple of these symbols
are used in pixmap, causing a FTBFS on pixmap. These symbols are
xpmReadRgbNames and xpmGetRgbName, xpmFreeRgbNames is related.

I have confirmed that applying this patch lets pixmap compile
successfully.

Thanks,
Paul

Those symbols were not exposed in any header, so pixmap using those was rather
hackish. See the upstream ticket.
