ok, i solved my own problem; just in case i'll document it here:
after talking to jaime zawinski (author of xscreensaver) it turns
out gutil.h is part of GLE which is only needed for one hack, so
i left it out. but apparently configure didn't think having
/usr/local/Mesa/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf was enough, it needed
--enable-gl=/usr/local/Mesa
to configure correctly, and the compile just finished.
so, yay, GL screen hacks.
