I don't see any problem with that. We are not trying to debug the indirect 
rendering.

As I said before on my original posting they were built with debugging 
info, and I quote:

So if the ideal solution is no debugging info at all, I can do this easily 
by always applying a patch the CVS host.def or site.def.

But, IMHO, an ideal solution would be just debugging info on libGL and 
*_dri.so, and with no libGL and libGLX.

Besides Alan and Keith what is the opinion of the others DRI developers?
