FWIW, these *were* correct at the time it was built, but libxcb-xlib (a 
private library meant to be used only by libX11) was removed for 
libxcb/libX11 1.2.

libXevie is no longer supported (the EvIE extension was removed from the 
X server some time ago), so you should not be building anything against 
that anymore.

As for libungif, it is deprecated due to the expiration of all known LZW 
patents; libgif should be used instead.
