Does X.org 7.4 work with Mesa 7.2?

It seems that X.org does not use the passed-in path (via -m to 
build-from-tarballs.sh).  This means that Mesa must be installed prior to 
runnin build-from-tarballs.sh. However it depends on some of the X.org 
packages.  This does not lead to circular dependencies, but it probably 
requires those packages to be built twice -- once to satisfy Mesa's 
requirements and once more by build-from-tarballs.sh.  Is this really the 
case?

I just modified build-from-tarballs.sh to build the dependencies, stop so 
that I can install Mesa and then continue so that it builds the rest of 
X.org.  Now xdriinfo configures fine, but the even the first compilation 
after that fails to find GL/glx.h which is in /usr/local/include/glx.h 
(installed by xcb) and also in <path to Mesa>/niclude/GL/glx/h (here <path 
to Mesa> was passed to build-from-tarballs.sh via -m).  I'm going to 
investigate this later on.  Hoever, any help in advance would be 
appreciated.
