No, that's why they're installed via ports? Pretty clear? Why would any of
the linux compatibility libraries be installed as "part of the base
system"?

/compat/linux/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 was installed by package
linux-sdl-1.2.10,1
/compat/linux/usr/lib/libGL.so.100.14.19 was installed by package

As I've said, I've done that several times already. You suggested that
before, and I did it again then. Did it change the result? No. Everything
in /compat/linux/ right now is only what's there installed via ports. I'm
not mixing and matching or spreading around anything.

Again, the only things there right now are official ports, hence no libglut
or glxinfo now, either. The only thing thus far which doesn't work as
expected is accelerated OpenGL. That's why I'm trying hard to get it
working, and have suggested alternatives, but with everything at suggested
and stated defaults, all linux apps will apparently do is crash once they
try to load libGL.so.1. If I knew why or had been able to find an answer,
I'd include it. That's why I suggested that specifically might just be an
interaction with the older X11 libraries, too, but I'm not the expert.
