Then I see no reason to achieve the goal you set.  At worst, we could
install pari-config, so that

  gcc main.c -lpari `pari-config -l -I -D`

works (emiting the required -l link-flags, -I include-flags, and -D
define-flags).

Could you be more explicit: avoid *which* problem?  Is ABI of the (5?)
used X11 functions changing all the time?
