However the OpenGL ABI specifies only a library name and a base set of functions, but does not go so far as to define an architecture. Mesa is just one architecture, and consequently we cannot guarantee that we will maintain compatibility. AMD's OpenGL implementation is structured around a different set of requirements to the Mesa implementation (WS performance, tuned to AMD hardware, etc vs generic support, broad performance, multi-platform). If there was an intermediate library that incurred no cost to hand over to a libGL backend, that would solve this issue. But the underlying issue is that OpenGL is defined at the library interface (and not the implementation ) level, but distributions gather at an implementation level. Regards...
