Ah, many thanks for this, got it working from the build dir by compiling mesa 
7.7 with target linux-x86-64. I think in retrospect openmpi has nothing to do 
with it, and this was probably a mesa issue all along, either due to a bug in 
the versions I tried, or because I used the autotools build method.

Thanks to all who helped tracking this down!

Cheers,
