Well that's what bit us: you need a DRI-enabled mesa even if you're only
building swrast.

So we've had to turn on DRI (even though it doesn't have any DRM
drivers) just to get swrast, whereas older versions of mesa/xorg-server
would build just fine without it.

The real painful part is the #include <drm.h> in
/usr/include/GL/internal/dri_interface.h. Back then, I had no idea if
those kernel headers were even working on hppa/alpha.

According to this file, mesa/swrast *can* be built without DRM, the
option just isn't available through a ./configure switch somewhere.

Cheers,
