My guess is that you're trying to link libGL.a which is a static library, and therefor not build with -fPIC, into a shared library, which needs to be build with -fPIC. Instead of /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a, you need to link to /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so. Both are be part of xlibmesa-gl-dev. I have no idea why you try to link the static version, but you shouldn't.
