Check out
$ man g++
$ man ld
Read the sections on -L and -l flags. First of, The reason -L/usr/lib has to come first is so that it finds the right version of libXrender first. The linker stops looking for the library once it finds a match.
The real issue is that you're not searching standard system locations. My guess is your passing the -nostdlibs argument to the linker, which the manpage tells me means, "Do not use the standard system libraries when linking."

Depends. I'm guessing configure is compiling the test programs differently than the main target. That could be a bug in configure, or pango development's fault for not using the same flags.
You might look into using a chroot system to completely isolate yourself from the rest of the system so that these types of errors don't get any worse. I haven't much experience with it, but you might look at debian package maintainer instructions for building packages with pbuilder or something to get some ideas.

X_LIBS = -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
.
Please pay attention that '-L/usr/lib' comes before '-L/usr/X11R6/lib' -
otherwise it doesn't work - I'm not quite sure why.

So, my main question:
is it a flaw in 'configure' of 'pango' or in directory structure and
library organization of MEPIS/Ubuntu ?
