It is _not the same problem_[1], since you have symlinked libXaw3d.so
-> libneXtxaw.so.6.1 in /usr/X11R6/lib, while Debian uses a symlink
Xaw3d/libXaw.so.6 -> libXaw3d.so.6.1.
Your problem is not obviously related to any Linux distribution (nor
to all of them), it looks like you created it yourself. Daniel
Pittman guesses that Xaw3d and neXtaw are binary compatible even with
derived widgets, but I would still bet on a subtle binary
incompatibility between them rather than a bug in ./configure or the
Makefile for this one. I would guess that your configuration is only
going to work for binaries that do not subclass any Athena widgets.
Do you know that it works for other programs that subclass Athena
widgets?
Footnotes:
[1] rpath can't help solve your problem (it only knows about
directories, not individual libraries), while it would solve the
Debian problem.
