I don't think he cared about it, he was trying to fix the bug for you.

Shocking as it may seem Mesa development in mainly done on Linux for Linux on
non-niche modern hardware. Occasionally things are going to break on systems
untested during development, complaining about an inevitability is not very
helpful.

This is a community project with limited resources, we will always need
contributions from people interested in keeping such platforms building/running
optimally.
