I think you are seeing an issue already fixed in SVN, but not in the
release NAS version. Please take a look at
http://radscan.com/nas/nas-ml/msg01725.html
and the following messages in the thread.

Unless you can provide evidence that there really is some problem building
some (which?) NAS clients with the --no-add-needed linker option I will not
add -lXau to the build.
