There has been some chatter on the Mesa developers list that sounds like
this may be fixed.

1. The mesa build system underwent a _major_ overhaul.
2. building glapi as a shared object sounds like it _might_ overcome the
mess that involved hidden/duplicate symbols, needed by both GL and OSMesa.
3. Then there's this resolved bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6980 that seems to say go
ahead "-lGL -lOSMesa"

I'll give it a try again.
