See some history in Bug 35530. The gist is:

From the patch:
    configure: enable run-time-dependencies as build-time dependencies

    With the recent addition of Sinhala keysyms, xkeyboard-config has a run-time
    dependency on certain xproto/libX11 versions. The build will work anyway,
    but using those layouts may result in unusable keyboards.

    Enable these run-time dependencies as build-time dependencies so that those
    building on their local machines are warned that the resulting build may not
    work. Those building on build hosts (e.g. distros) can skip this check with
    --disable-runtime-deps.
