Running "nm" on my copy of libXpm.so and looking for fxstat I see:
nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so
...
U __fxstat_at__at_GLIBC_2.0
...
I believe I'm running the same version of Mandrake you are.
I believe libXpm was already in /usr/X11R6/lib, perhaps I selected
it during the install.
Anyway, I believe the "U" indicates that the symbol is undefined,
but it expects to resolve it from GLIBC_2.0.
You don't say what version of Xpm you are trying to use or whether
you built it yourself...
