Yep, that's what I'm seeing as well. I haven't been able to track
down the problem yet. For now, I am hacking around the problem by
manually editing Mesa/src/GGI/libMesaGGI.la and changing the line that
reads:
dependency_libs=' /usr/local/lib/libggi.la -lgii -lgg'
to:
dependency_libs=' -lggi -lgii -lgg'

I've spend several house trying to figure out what's wrong and
come up empty so far. If anyone else out there knows the M4 script
systems better than I do, I could use a hand....
