I don't understand the question.  You can link in for example dbus or 
libxml, both which doesn't have anything to do with Athena.  But in both 
cases we must check for them.
The text font for Emacs is taken from GConf if available (but Xsettings 
is preferred), so we must check for that.  Not all optional libraries in 
Emacs are related to the toolkit used.
