I don't have access to any bsd flavour for testing so perhaps someone else can
be more specific. What I'm sure of, though, is that you need to specify the -L
(uppercase) option if you want to specify a directory. For example:

   LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib

The configure script would be looking for -lXaw because it found the headers
for that package. I don't know how bsd systems work, but perhaps you have the
development package but not the run-time package for it.
