glShaderSource is defined in the GLES2 spec as so:

void glShaderSource(	GLuint shader,
 	GLsizei count,
 	const GLchar **string,
 	const GLint *length);

However trunk mesa (and 9.1.0) has a definition like this:

GL_APICALL void         GL_APIENTRY glShaderSource (GLuint shader,
GLsizei count, const GLchar* const* string, const GLint* length);

The difference being const GLchar **string, vs const GLchar* const*
string

That means that if you have a function pointer to glShaderSource using
the old definition, and assign the new function to it, it will fail to
compile.

(And I know that code using function pointers to core functionality is
insane, but it is better than using ifdefs to switch between using
function pointers where that functionality is extension-only, and real
function declarations where it is core functionality)
