./configure --with-x-locale-root=/usr/share/X11/locale --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb(or whatever correct prefix your system uses).

Example: en_US.utf8 might not exist, try en_US.UTF-8.
Some keymaps are using features that used to exist in X11 XKB, but were removed in xkbcommon. You can find a complete list here.
