1. Is it possible to link different oct files against different

fltk_backend.oct to the system's GL? That would certainly solve the
problem.
2. If not, another possibility is to compile OSMesa so that all
OpenGL functions have the mgl prefix instead of the usual gl prefix
(i.e. mglBegin instead of glBegin). This together with some scripted
way to make a m-prefixed version of gl-render (to be called mgl-render
of course!) might be a solution (all be it a very ugly one).
Does anyone else have any other ideas or recommendations?

3d web page

claims that mesa implements the openGL specification.
Therefore, is a third possibility to just switch to mesa?
If you are running linux on a graphics card other than nvidia or ati, chances are you are using mesa. But this does not solve the problem: OSMesa functions shadow the Mesa functions -- thus the reliance on linking order stated in the blog post you found. The functions have the same name.
