 I had not previously installed the Mesa port, and attempted to do so
 today, apparently just after the port had been updated to 7.8.2.  I
 apologize in advance, because I have attempted to get the log output since
 resolving the issue, but my scrollback buffers have been cleared of the
 original logs, and after a successful installation of 7.8.1, the log file
 was deleted.  All I have to go from is memory of what occurred.

 When trying to install Mesa-7.8.2 (with Xcode 3.2.2, OSX 10.6.4, fully
 synced/updated macports), the build failed.  The error was near the end of
 the build completion, ld reporting that libOSMesa.7.2.dylib could not be
 linked because "-lGL" could not be found.  Realizing that libGL was to be
 provided by the mesa port, I manually downgraded the port to 7.8.1,
 grabbed the relevant patches from macports.org, and successfully installed
 the (default) variant of 7.8.1, enabling hardware support.  A subsequent
 'port upgrade mesa' proceeded without issue, successfully building and
 installing version 7.8.2 of the port.

 In the initial failed build, there were also a series of errors such as:

 libmesa.a.obj/__.SYMDEF: No such file or directory

 I only have that because it remains in a browser cache - again, I
 apologize for the lack of detailed logs.  I attempted to uninstall
 mesa-7.8.2 and then reinstall to replicate the issue, but was unable to -
 subsequent port installs of mesa were successful.  This seems to only be
 an issue on the very first installation of mesa.
