glxinfo works, /compat/linux/usr/bin/glxinfo - does not

Ok, that seems like the root of the problem indeed:

    /compat/linux/usr/lib/libGLX_system.so.0 -> libGLX_*mesa*.so.0

Unfortunately, deinstalling linux-c7-dri, also deinstalled the 
linux-c7-glx-utils, which had to be reinstalled with NO_DEPENDS=yes to 
avoid dragging in the Mesa stuff again (which must be, what created the 
above link to GLX_mesa in the first place)...

Finally, the symlink-manipulations had to be repeated in 
/compat/linux/usr/lib*64* as well (why do linux-c7-/foo/ ports even 
bother with 32-bit binaries on amd64?) -- but now both native and Linux 
glxinfo binaries work here, and there is much rejoicing. Thank you!

Should I file bug-report(s) for any of this? Yours,
