18 I'm happy with libGL; I just reverted the ebuild to be as it started,
19 but to define a sparc-specific set of dri drivers. All my problems came
20 from my mistaken belief that mesa would still build cleanly using the
21 sparc assembly code. I thought about going ahead and installing the
22 drivers themselves while I was at it, but decided to do other things
23 first. If you like, I'll take a shot at it tomorrow, since I've been
24 playing with mesa and its ebuild anyway.
