Hmm, it was fixed 18 days ago. Maybe you should use a CVS snapshot for
testing instead.

Hmm, any details on that one? configure looks for -lMesaGL before
accepting Mesa,
so you must have it :)
Again: use a CVS snapshot, there have been some bugs.

This is no solution as it breaks when you have static objects or use
libstdc++ functions.
The real solution is either to configure gcc with --enable-shared (you
would also save
about 300MB for a KDE installation :) or fix libtool to bypass libstdc++
for libraries.
This is in the works.

Aha? This makes me really wondering. But David commited something in
there, that should
fix this (and closes a bug :)

Greetings, Stephan
