What were you trying to do (and why)?

There is a problem with the compiled source of xfig. If I start xfig (the problem is reproducible on multiple computers and was already discussed in #166452 and https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/177/ ).

When I compile xfig without homebrew (or the bottle), no problem appears.

What happened (include all command output)?

Executing xfig, I get the output:

Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default

zsh: segmentation fault  /opt/homebrew/bin/xfig

What did you expect to happen?

No segmentation fault is expected. I have traced back the problem to the following. If I compile the program myself and then execute otool -L xfig, I obtain:

src/xfig:
        /opt/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version 14.0.0, current version 14.0.0)
        /opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 25.0.0, current version 25.3.18)
        /opt/X11/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.0.0)
        /opt/X11/lib/libXft.2.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version 6.7.0)
        /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
        /opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current version 11.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1351.0.0)

The bottled version instead outputs:

/opt/homebrew/bin/xfig:
	/opt/homebrew/opt/libxaw3d/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.0.0)

	/opt/homebrew/opt/fontconfig/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version 14.0.0, current version 14.1.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1351.0.0)

If I change the two libraries libXt and libXaw3d to the version in /opt/X11 via

install_name_tool -change $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/libxt/lib/libXt.6.dylib /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/xfig/3.2.9a/bin/xfig
install_name_tool -change $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/libxaw3d/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib /opt/X11/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/xfig/3.2.9a/bin/xfig

The segmentation fault disappears.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

brew install xfig
$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/xfig
