... no libGL.so.xlibmesa nor libGL.so.1.2 (it's a broken symlink)!!  It
looks like nvidia-glx did mess up with libgl1-mesa-dev and introduced a
bug.  Do you agree?

Doing what Glynn suggested (adding the link myself), let configure go
ahead without errors, and compilation proceeded similarly.  I'm with you
though in that I prefer to leave everything under /usr (and others) up to
Debian (I know about backfires from my own manipulations there!).

Thanks everybody for your help with this,
