This is usually a symptom of mixing incompatible libGL, libglapi, 
libdricore and/or swrast_dri.so files.  Some were probably build with 
TLS support and others without.

Did you build Mesa yourself and do a 'make install'?  Which distro? 
Depending on the distro, you may first have to remove the existing mesa 
components before installing new ones.
