FWIW this very issue has caused me to be stumped for at least a few
hours. Resolving it *somehow* would be fantastic. Note that only
letting one build at a time doesn't fully resolve the issue - some
clever enterprising individual will build it one way, install, then
build the other way, install. (Or forgetful individual...) And end up
with the same problem.

Of course it'd be *most* ideal if we could just have a single libGL
which did whatever we wanted it to when we wanted. But I'm guessing
there's a reason it was done this way.
