When I use these options, the make install fails for me as it tries to 
install headers (e.g. xrandr.h) in / (I run all the build as a normal 
user thankfully otherwise my / would be messy by now!)

I traced this down to the fact that --disable-xorg in configure.ac does 
not define $sdkdir variable. I made a simple patch that defined it, but 
I'm not convinced I did it the correct way. Perhaps someone could have a 
look where --disable-xorg is concerned?? Happy to post my patch if 
requested, but like I say I think it's wrong.

I cannot get this to work. When I compile Mesa with "make 
linux-x86-64-static" it does not compile all the necessary stuff into 
libGL.a e.g. GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap I've only had success with 
"make linux-dri-x86-64" personally.
