Mesa at v21 removed the software OSMesa driver (see https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Classic-OSMesa-Retires ). We were already using the gallium driver so I think there is no change for us, but the compile flag changed to a boolean: true for what was before gallium, based on my reading of the change https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=ee802372180a2b4460cc7abb53438e45c6b6f1e4

Will do, sorry about that (I think I did do that but may have manually altered the header).

By the way, I'm looking now and see mesa-opencl failing, I'll take a look (perhaps an option change or library location?).
