Mm. I thought it was relevant to here since it's a mandatory part of
building Xorg at all.

Ah, but I don't, you see. I'm trying to build this thing (Xorg in all
its glory) in my home directory. (Using jhbuild to pull all modules
from git and build them module by module.)

So why is whatever configuration Xorg is giving Mesa telling Mesa to
try to install in the system? That bit's Xorg, not Mesa - Mesa is a
third-party inclusion, but it's Xorg giving it build parameters.
