Your OpenGL detection macro is seriously flawed in a number of
ways. You should for instance look at the way you use AC_CACHE_CHECK
(hint: there should not be any sideeffects within a cached check).
I started working on fixing the problems of your macro, but I gave up,
the overall structure of the macro is just not flexible enough. So I
wrote my own instead. I've attached it to this mail for your perusal.
Its not perfect, but it seems to work well on the platforms it has
been tested (Linux, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, BeOS), within the context of
the configure process for the Coin� library.
BTW, some major difference from your macro:
* it handles GL and GLU (or Mesa and MesaGLU) exclusively (I've got a
separate macro for GLX)
* it assumes that all the necessary libraries GL depends on has been
configured to be covered by the environment variables LDFLAGS and
LIBS _before_ the macro is run

dnl Usage:
dnl SIM_CHECK_OPENGL([ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
dnl
dnl Try to find an OpenGL development system, either a native
dnl implementation or the OpenGL-compatible Mesa libraries. If
dnl it is found, these shell variables are set:
dnl
dnl $sim_ac_gl_cppflags (extra flags the compiler needs for OpenGL/Mesa)
dnl $sim_ac_gl_ldflags (extra flags the linker needs for OpenGL/Mesa)
dnl $sim_ac_gl_libs (link libraries the linker needs for OpenGL/Mesa)
dnl
dnl The CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS flags will also be modified accordingly.
dnl In addition, the variable $sim_ac_gl_avail is set to "yes" if an
dnl OpenGL-compatible development system is found. If the OpenGL system
dnl found is the Mesa libraries, we will also set $sim_ac_gl_is_mesa to
dnl "yes".
