I'd like to change that... However, we do not want to link the drivers against libGL anyway. Consider accelerated indirect rendering, where the DRI driver is loaded by the X server itself. If it were linked against libGL (which would have been compiled as a GLX client library), the DRI driver would act as though it were an X client, and the server isn't smart enough to be a client of itself. That the DRI drivers are linked against libGL in the X build is a bug. - ajax
