You may ignore these, all but Xt are Windows libraries, which you really
don't need on fedora :-)
I am not sure about Xt, maybe this is needed. You should better install
it. See below.

Now this means what it says :-) You will need to install the X11 dev
package to be able to compile GNUstep back. Most likely this will
provide you the missing Xt library as well.
