Not really related that I can see? I didn't touch struct wl_resource at
all...

Can't see how I could cause a problem here? WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED has
always hidden struct wl_buffer, so compilation with WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED
should be exactly as before.

We also provide a struct wl_buffer forward decl in
wayland-server-protocol.h which is (autogenerated and) included from
wayland-server.h
Presumably that patch was written for people not including
wayland-server.h at all? They shouldn't have much trouble with eliding
the full struct definition they weren't including.

I've test built mesa from the git 17.2 and 17.3 branches, as well as git
master, and they seem ok... Building mesa is a bit of a dark art
though, so hopefully no configure options changed, and I was building
everything I thought I was.
If you want me to test build any specific SHAs, give me a list... I've
got a reasonably fast computer here.
Thanks,
