At the time the only comment I got was from Thomas about the requirement for python/libxml2 which he hated then as well :) I patched it so that it conditionally build host-libxml2 with the reuqired support if mesa3d was selected. My patch for this is at https://gitorious.org/willw-buildroot/willw-buildroot/commit/421b4fd572869b22de11a0f0fad161e284c41bcc If we want newer mesa3d support I think we are going to have to come up with some suitable solution for this.
