Bugzilla Bug 115539

I just added mesa-progs to provide glxinfo and glxgears, and bumped xorg-x11 to
add it to the deps. You'll need to rekeyword xorg-x11 and keyword mesa-progs.

Thanks!

Why compile these two executables with -fPIC?

That's just copied over from the mesa ebuild, along with most of the rest of the
setup. Is there a reason it should be changed?

BTW, see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112896#add_comment for how to
fix your repoman errors in xorg-x11. Same fix is in CVS.

Woops, meant http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112896#c41

Whilst there's no performance penalty for compiling shared libraries with -fPIC
there certainly is when compiling executables. I guess that's of little
consequence with glxgears/glxinfo but it's also against gentoo ebuild policy
(which states that only shared libraries should be built with -fPIC).

OK for sparc, so both keyworded ~sparc.

I've removed the PIC_FLAGS setting in the ebuild.

Both marked ~amd64.

~mips

done. ~ppc
