Maybe the porting team can experiment with linking against libGL.so
(when you follow the Mesa installation instructions, or if you install
from an RPM, you'll have libGL.so symlinked to libMesaGL.so.x).
Hopefully there won't be any problems with the loader barfing on the
symlink.
PS: Most Linux users will have Mesa rather than a "real" OpenGL
implementation, since Mesa is free, and most OpenGL implementations cost
around $1,000 (even on Linux). Mesa also supports Voodoo graphics-based
hardware acceleration, which OpenGL does not, it plays well with
XFree86, etc. BUT... it's supposed to be source-compatible with OpenGL.
