So the X vmware driver has a hard dependency on DRI if your X server
is recent, instead of having a configure option. Now that Mesa is
refusing to build in distros where you haven't asked for any OpenGL,
this is being discovered.  It should be fairly simple to add a
configure option to enable/disable the graphics module of
xf86-video-vmware.

Now that is interesting.  Can you mail me privately a full log?  I'll
try and replicate tomorrow.
