AFAIK it checks only whether -lXrender makes function XRenderQueryExtension available and does not check for any Xrender header file at all. In other words it doesn't anticipate modular Xorg where Xrender is a separate library (like everything else) and it's possible to have any combination of the libraries and header files installed. For example on Fedora one would get to this situation by installing libXrender but not libXrender-devel (although this is not possible without removal of lots of other Gtk+ dependencies therefore configure would not pass there). IMO it should test the presence of header files for each extension it needs and I suggest to report it as a bug (if it isn't in bugzilla already).
