To things to double-check:

1. In your config/config.make, XSDE_PLATFORM is set to posix.

2. You are running make (comes with the VxWorks dev environment) and
   not Microsoft nmake to build libxsde. This can be confusing if you
   use VC++ for development: you build VC++ version of libxsde with
   nmake (and config/config.nmake is used) while you build VxWorks
   version of libxsde with make (and config/config.make is used).
