It was actually mesa insisting on only building egl_platform=drm and the
pre-requisite egl_dri2 if and only if libxcb-dri2 was installed. Seems a
bit strange for something that is supposed to be used on an X-less
system.

Rebuild the xserver... Oh well, that rules out testing by simply replacing
distro drivers. I'm having a lot of fun with building glamor as it is
missing or including headers in the wrong order and deciding that XID is
8 bytes when the server was compiled with a 4 byte XID. Fun. And the
usual problems with incomplete framebuffers, but hopefully that is just
the glx confusion.
