Not actually true, you can adjust where the build looks for those files by 
editing your extensions/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86.linux-x86 file and 
changing the X11_* and MOTIF_* settings.  The default values do assume that's 
where they are found, but you should *never* need to modify your OS like that 
to get EPICS programs to build or run.

That is true.
