As pointed out in my other email, I am here on Ubuntu/precise AMD64
which runs mesa-8.0.x.
The simplest way was to install the so-called build-deps and build
mesa-8.0.5 after that.

Switching to a higher mesa-version results here in circular build-dependencies.
For example:
mesa-9.x wants a higher libdrm-version and I don't know what libdrm
requires for new build-deps to be resolved.
Finally, I have to bump my complete Linux graphics stack - I wanted to
avoid this!
