On Linux building Mesa results in a complete "OpenGL kit", including a
libGL. Why is that not possible on Haiku? Why do we have to drag Mesa
code and internal headers into Haiku's build?


I looked into this.  It looks possible to add a new libgl target to
Mesa 9.x+ moving our OpenGL kit out of tree...

Sounds good.


As for Mesa 7.8.2, things are a lot more tricky as it is pre-gallium.
If it can't be integrated with the actual Mesa sources, as a last resort the build instructions could be put directly into the recipe. Not particularly beautiful, but the resulting packages would at least be comparable with that of the gcc 4 version. And since the Mesa version is frozen anyway, it also isn't like we'd have to deal with updates.
