I'm happy with libGL; I just reverted the ebuild to be as it started,
but to define a sparc-specific set of dri drivers. All my problems came
from my mistaken belief that mesa would still build cleanly using the
sparc assembly code.  I thought about going ahead and installing the
drivers themselves while I was at it, but decided to do other things
first.  If you like, I'll take a shot at it tomorrow, since I've been
playing with mesa and its ebuild anyway.
