When using nvidia's opengl implementation GLX_FRONT_LEFT_EXT is not defined. Using xorg-x11's implementation, GLX_FRONT_LEFT_EXT is defined in glx.h. This causes e.g. libcm (from CVS) build to fail. Switching opengl to xorg-x11 fixes the build.

There's nothing that we can do about it. You'll need to submit a report to NVIDIA to fix it.
Thank you, I will do that. I reported it here because I thought it could be eselect-opengl related - and in this bug[1] Jeremy Huddleston asked to file bug reports when switching to xorg opengl is needed in order to compile something. [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111877#c53
No problem. If Jeremy shows up, hopefully he will look at it and see if it really is something that we can fix.
