What you say here doesn't make much sense, because GL support in Linux
is implemented via shared libraries.

I.e. you normally compile against Mesa-LibGL's headers/API and use an
arbitrary libGL.so.1 at run-time. I.e. the GL spead-up provided by
NVidia's GL is a run-time feature, not a built-time dependency.
