Well, I had some doubts the first time I did this, but never thought of a big risk in doing so. Just a problem of finding symbols or something. Need to learn more on this.
For me this is just a (working)workaround since I have never seen libGL.a being available from nvidia's propietary drivers. Don't know how ld does the magic to link statically with a dinamic library. Would be great to know the right way to solve this issue.
