That seems to mean that your compiler is finding 32-bit libraries
when you attempt to build a 64-bit application or vice-versa.
I am not sure what really should be in /usr/X11R6/lib/ on your
system and if /usr/X11R6/lib64/ exists and should be visited first.
If yes then maybe a compiler specs file is somewhat incorrect?
After adding '-v' to your compilation flags you may watch what
is looking for what and where.

I do not have now an x86_64  system handy to check but it seems to
me that there was something like '-m32' flag if you wanted to
compile 32-bit applications.  You can also control what a linker is
doing by passing to it options with a help of "-Wl,....".

Oh, and doing various updates via rpm when 64-bit and 32-bit
versions are involved is order-sensitive.
