bug#32458: Acknowledgement (SDL SEGFAULTs on foreign distro)

[Tim Gesthuizen]

Hi,
I did another bisect to find the second cause of failure.
I used the input rewriting technique but with the fixed libepoxy definition:

>> (use-modules (gnu packages)
>>              (gnu packages games)
>>              (gnu packages gl)
>>              (guix packages)
>>              (guix profiles))
>>
>> (define libepoxy-legacy
>>   (package
>>     (inherit libepoxy)
>>     (version "1.4.0")))
>

Yes it should be. Something made me think the expression evaluating to
the origin object in the original libepoxy definition would be
reevaluated. And it also should be 1.5.0.

I started using the small guile script using guile-sdl2 again, simply
because I do not need to close the window manually if a commit is good
and the program starts. Otherwise the bisect would still need human
input. You can find the scripts that I used attached as a tar archive.
It has some hardcoded paths though. Execute the check.sh script to check
the current commit.
After a really long bisect and tons of package rebuilding git found
commit faccae1c3769c90694c2b7eee0e4e9ab53049a8f to be guilty. The commit
updates mesa so it seems quite possible.

I don't have that much time right now but I will try to revert the two
commits found so far and see whether this gets OpenGL running again on
the master branch.

Tim.
