I changed the type of _XtInherit to a variable instead of a function.
It compiles but I've not tested it completely.

With this way we have a symbol which contains the address of the XtInherit 
function in libXt and is directly exported. This requires the pseudo-reloc
feature of ld.

Any comments on this? Will this work or are there still problems? 

I will have to change the declaration of _XtInherit in the header too, but
this will be in the real patch which I will send at the end of week.
