The build info which is listed for building osmesa (https://docs.mesa3d.org/osmesa.html <https://docs.mesa3d.org/osmesa.html>) does not list a platform, and in that case, wayland is required, which is not available on our server.

Hi,

I recall hearing that the surfaceless platform would nowadays be
enabled unconditionally in the build, since it does not actually depend
on anything.
