Note that Mesa is not involved in the use case that Egbert mentioned. I think fixing the driver builds to be -Bsymbolic would be superior to this patch (and a performance win!) while solving the original problem. RTLD_DEEPBIND has the unfortunate downside that it prevents you from using LD_PRELOAD for things like cheesy non-valgrind malloc debuggers or most GL interposers, which is the only real argument I see against it.
