Just an odd pair of datapoints for you:
1. I currently have built a binary of fgfs that uses freeglut 2.4:
stax:~/Projects/FlightGear-0.9/source/src/Main-503> ldd fgfs
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002aaaaacd8000)
libglut.so.3 => /usr/lib/libglut.so.3 (0x00002aaaaadef000)
[ snip ]
stax:~/Projects/FlightGear-0.9/source/src/Main-504> grep /usr/lib/libglut.so.3
/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/freeglut3.list:/usr/lib/libglut.so.3.8.0
/var/lib/dpkg/info/freeglut3.list:/usr/lib/libglut.so.3
stax:~/Projects/FlightGear-0.9/source/src/Main-505> dpkg -l freeglut3

ii freeglut3 2.4.0-5 OpenGL Utility Toolkit
I do not get bit by the freeglut 2.4.0 bug ("failed to create cursor").
Looking further, it appears that the Debian package has been patched against
the bug -- the bug was filed by, and the patch was provided by, the
Debian fgfs package maintainer. So Debian's freeglut 2.4 appears to be
OK.
2. Using this freeglut, --enable-game-mode together with
--enable-fullscreen works perfectly for me -- I get a fullscreen display,
at my current resolution, with no window dressing.
