I think current Gallium drivers only need one exported symbol to work:
__driDriverExtensions. See:

Yes that's indeed the right way of doing it, feel free to make the changes Chia-l Wu suggested to avoid the version file and commit the patch with my rb.

I completely agree.

Building everything shared might speed up the build process a little bit

rather small shared libraries where which each clashing the symbol space

Building everything as one big blob sounds like the better idea.

Christian.
Not to mention...installing a ton of shared libraries is just asking for
version mismatch problems.  I've had a /ton/ of problems due to
mismatching libdricore and i965_dri.so...usually due to rpath shenanigans.

If anything, I'd like to get rid of libdricore and build core Mesa and
the drivers together again.  No more version clashes.  Far fewer symbols
exported.  LTO for extra performance with no extra effort...

Faster build times are nice, but...not if it means shipping a ton of
shared libraries...
