One strategy for such cases is to look at the commit fixing the compile error
and see if (part of) it can be applied on top of other commits to be tested for
the bisect.

Indeed, you should never declare a commit good or bad if it doesn't even
compile. :)

Yes, that's how it deals with non-linear history (so you don't have to worry
about that yourself).

Maybe it would be easier to just do manual builds instead of using PKGBUILD for
the bisect? You can point to the directory containing the manually built
r600_dri.so with the environment variable LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH. You may also want
to set LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose to verify it's picking up the expected r600_dri.so.

Also, especially for older commits, you may need to run make clean or even
autogen.sh between bisection steps to prevent inconsistent builds.
