Hi Rafael.

That library is installed by the ia32-libs package, which I haven't modified
yet. Currently that package doesn't contain an updated version of mesa,
therefore it won't work anyway (yet). This problem was already on my radar
;)

I'll fix it.

Good point. They are just development headers (i.e. most users shouldn't
care about them) but this conflict wasn't intended. Thanks for bringing this
to my attention.
